My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes around 2015. Initially, I was prescribed Metformin (500 mg twice daily) but due to my busy schedule and work commitments, I didn’t take it seriously.

My eating habits were poor. I consumed a lot of sweets, rarely exercised, and often ignored my health.

I had angina about 10 years ago and was on statins (Atorvastatin/Rosuvastatin), but I had no family history of diabetes or blood pressure issues.

My lifestyle, diet, and irregular activity were the main contributors to my diabetes.

Early symptoms included mild balanitis, which was operated upon, and later, mild peripheral neuropathy with tingling and numbness in fingers due to early nerve damage.

With proper B12 supplementation, these symptoms are resolved.

How FFD Was Introduced and What Made Me Join

I first came across FFD through Facebook and through Mayurika Biswas, who had joined the program. I had previously tried an earlier batch but couldn’t commit due to a busy schedule.

In 2025, I joined batch 111 with a clear intention to follow the protocols strictly.

Being a psychiatrist, I understood the importance of lifestyle and stress management. FFD’s structured approach combining diet, exercise, mind, body, and soul interventions resonated deeply with me.

I followed the guidance, listened to relaxation and audio sessions, and treated myself as a patient rather than a doctor.

Reversal Story & Health Improvements

Within one month, I was able to stop all diabetes medications.

My HbA1c, which was highest at 6.2, dropped to 5.6.

My blood sugar remains stable, with fasting at 100 mg/dl and post-meal around 140 mg/dl.

Other health improvements include:

Weight & BMI: Stable at BMI 23, no loss or gain needed
Back & knee pain: Resolved through Surya Namaskar and gym-based exercises
Flexibility & fitness: Improved significantly, making daily activities easier
Peripheral neuropathy: Resolved after B12 and proper blood sugar management
Dietary changes included avoiding sweets entirely, increasing protein intake, and moderating carbohydrates.
Occasional seasonal fruits like mango were consumed sparingly.

Inner Transformation & Holistic Lifestyle

While I could not participate fully in every holistic transformation session, I followed key practices like deep muscle relaxation and guided meditations.

This strengthened my mind-body connection and helped manage stress effectively.

Athletic Identity & Physical Activity

At 63, I practice chair-based Surya Namaskar and moderate gym exercises. My back and knee pains from early osteoarthritis have improved, and I feel more flexible and energetic.
