My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 37 during a routine health check-up.
I wasn't experiencing any major symptoms at the time. The test was done simply to see whether I had diabetes or not. Unfortunately, the results confirmed it.
There was also a family history. My father had been living with diabetes for many years, so perhaps the risk was always there.
Over time, my diabetes progressed and eventually I was put on insulin.
For nearly seven to eight years, I was taking insulin three times every day.
Each dose was 45 units, which meant I was injecting around 135 units of insulin daily.
Like many people with long-standing diabetes, I assumed this was how life would continue forever.
How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?
After years of managing diabetes through medication, I came across Freedom From Diabetes and decided to give it a try.
By then, I had already spent over two decades living with diabetes.
Despite all the medications and insulin, the treatment approach always seemed to be the same if sugar levels increased, the dosage increased.

No one had ever shown me a path toward reducing dependency on insulin.
FFD offered a completely different perspective.
The focus was on addressing the root causes through nutrition, lifestyle, fasting, exercise, and sustainable habits.
I decided to trust the process.
It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.

Reversal Journey
When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was 11.9. I was taking 135 units of insulin every single day.
What happened next surprised even me.
Within just seven days of following the FFD protocols, I was completely off insulin.
After years of being told that insulin would be a lifelong requirement, becoming insulin-free in one week felt unbelievable.
The transformation did not stop there.

The transformation did not stop there.
Over the next few months, my blood sugar levels continued to improve, and eventually all medications were discontinued.
Today, I am completely medicine-free. My HbA1c has come down from 11.9 to 6.1.
I also lost 15 kg, reducing my weight from 89 kg to 74 kg.
Apart from diabetes, my overall metabolic health improved significantly.
My liver-related parameters that were previously elevated also moved toward healthier ranges.

The changes were visible not only in reports but also in how I felt every day.
Fast for Freedom Experience
One of the most powerful tools in my journey was fasting. I participated in the Fast for Freedom challenge three separate times and lost 4 kg with each cycle.
Every fasting cycle brought noticeable benefits.
The first thing I experienced was a feeling of lightness in the body.
Hunger reduced dramatically after the second day, and surprisingly, fasting became much easier than I had imagined.
I also noticed better sleep quality and improved sugar control during these periods.
Each fasting experience helped reinforce my confidence that the body can heal when given the right conditions.
My Athletic Identity
I wouldn't describe myself as a hardcore athlete. However, I discovered that consistency matters more than intensity.
My routine includes walking, climbing stairs, yoga, and simple movement practices that keep me active.
At one stage, I was comfortably doing around 10 Surya Namaskars as part of my exercise routine.
The weight loss itself made movement easier and more enjoyable. Activities that once felt tiring gradually became effortless.
Most importantly, I learned that fitness doesn't have to be complicated to be effective.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
The biggest transformation has been freedom. For more than twenty years, diabetes dictated many aspects of my life.
Every doctor visit brought higher doses. Every adjustment seemed to mean more medication, never less.
Today, I am living proof that another path is possible.
Today, I am living proof that another path is possible.
I no longer depend on insulin. I no longer depend on diabetes medications.
I sleep better, feel lighter, have more energy, and enjoy a level of freedom that I never thought I would experience again.
Looking back, the most surprising part is not the weight loss or the improved reports.
It is the fact that after living with diabetes for 23 years, I was able to stop 135 units of insulin in just one week.
That is something I never imagined could happen.
