My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was first diagnosed around 2010 during a routine medical checkup.
Until then, I had not experienced any major symptoms. But once the diagnosis was made, I was prescribed diabetes medicines and continued taking them for years.
Until then, I had not experienced any major symptoms. But once the diagnosis was made, I was prescribed diabetes medicines and continued taking them for years.
I never required insulin, but I remained dependent on tablets for over a decade. During this period, I also noticed gradual weight gain.
My weight eventually reached 78 kg, and despite being active and even going to the gym occasionally, nothing seemed to change significantly.

I always believed I was eating moderately and trying to maintain a healthy routine. But the results simply were not showing.
How FFD Was Introduced
In 2021, I decided to explore a more structured and scientific approach to managing diabetes and came across the Freedom From Diabetes program.
The philosophy of addressing the root cause of diabetes rather than just controlling sugar levels immediately made sense to me.
I realized that although I had been trying to stay healthy, I did not truly understand how nutrition, insulin resistance, and lifestyle choices affect diabetes.

Joining the program gave me that clarity.

Reversal Story
Once I started following the FFD protocols, the impact on my health was surprisingly quick.
Within 30 days of joining, I was able to stop my diabetes medicines completely under medical guidance. This was something I had never imagined possible after living with diabetes for more than 11 years.
Alongside this, my body began responding positively to the lifestyle changes. My weight gradually reduced from 78 kg to 60 kg, a total loss of 18 kg.
My HbA1c, which had once spiked to 11.8, steadily improved and came down to 6.6. More importantly, I started feeling healthier and more energetic than before.
Today, I can confidently say that this transformation has not just been about blood sugar numbers it has been about regaining overall health and vitality.
Athletic Identity
One of the most exciting parts of my journey has been discovering my athletic identity through running.
Following the guidance of my physician, I began incorporating running and jogging into my daily routine.
Today, I run around 8 kilometres every day, something I never imagined doing in my sixties.

I have also participated in several 5-kilometre runs, completing them successfully.
Running has now become a powerful part of my lifestyle and a reminder of how capable the human body is when given the right care.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, my life revolves around maintaining balance in both physical and mental health.
I follow a disciplined routine that includes regular exercise, mindful eating, and daily meditation for 15–30 minutes.
Meditation has played an important role in keeping my mind calm and stable. It has helped me stay mentally strong and emotionally balanced.

Looking back, I realize that the biggest change FFD brought to my life was awareness, understanding what to eat, how to eat, and how lifestyle choices directly affect health.
