My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed 15 years ago during a medical check. With both parents diabetic, it didn’t surprise me, but it did worry me.

Over the years, my lifestyle became irregular because of work, and my sugars became difficult to manage.

I eventually needed insulin along with several medications.

How FFD Came Into My Life

The opportunity came through my company’s special health initiative.

L&T shortlisted employees with high-risk diabetes and enrolled us in FFD.

My main motivation was reducing my insulin and getting diabetes under control.

My Reversal Story

Within just one month of joining, my insulin stopped completely, and my medicines dropped from 5–6 pills to just 3.

From there, the transformation only got better.

My HbA1c came down from 9.2 to 5.7, and I lost 10 kg going from 102.5 kg to 92.5 kg.

I began feeling more energetic, flexible, and confident, and my lifestyle became far more structured and disciplined.

I had tried weight-loss clinics in the past and would lose 4–5 kg, but it never lasted.

This time, the progress felt natural because the approach was healthier, more systematic, and truly sustainable.

Athletic Identity

Right now, I am active with yoga.

I haven’t moved into specific athletic identity levels yet, but I do 10 Surya Namaskars regularly and plan to progress gradually.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I feel much lighter and more flexible. My numbers are under control, medicines are lower, and insulin is gone.

Yoga keeps me active and mentally balanced. The guidance from the coaches has helped me manage my diet and exercise in a sustainable way.
