Hello, I’m Dr. Pallavi Parte from Pune. I’ve been living with type 1 diabetes for the past 14 years. Being a medical professional myself, I’ve always believed in regular check-ups and monitoring. Yet, despite my knowledge, diabetes brought challenges like weight loss, fatigue, and fluctuating sugars. FFD came into my life as a turning point.

Key Takeaways:

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 29
HbA1c 9.6, brought down to 8.1
Lantus insulin reduced from 12 units to 8–9 units
Epidraps reduced from 6–7 units to as low as 2–3 units
Regained physical strength and stamina, able to resume two-wheeler driving confidently
Emotional healing and holistic guidance through FFD team support

My Diabetes Story

At 29, I started experiencing drastic weight loss, frequent urination, irregular menstruation, and excessive thirst.

My fasting sugar was around 200, and my HbA1c was close to 8.1. That was when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Over the years, I tried to manage it with insulin, but fluctuations remained, and fatigue often slowed me down.

At my highest, my HbA1c reached 9.6.

How FFD Was Introduced

I came across FFD and felt it was worth trying. What stood out to me was their structured approach to food, exercise, and emotional wellness.

Despite being a doctor, I realized I needed expert guidance beyond conventional treatment.

Reversal Story

Joining FFD changed everything. The biggest benefit was stability. My sugar fluctuations came under control. With diet corrections, strength-building exercises, and proper nutrition, I regained stamina and energy.

Insulin changes: Lantus reduced from 12 to 8 units. Epidraps came down from 6–7 units to 2–5 units, depending on lifestyle discipline.

Energy & strength: I was once too weak to ride a two-wheeler. Now I drive confidently, even a four-wheeler.

Lab improvements: HbA1c dropped from 9.6 to 8.1, cholesterol normalized, micronutrient levels improved (B12, calcium, iron).

Even after a minor accident, I recovered quickly, thanks to better calcium and nutrient reserves from the FFD plan.

Athletic Identity

Though underweight initially (46–47 kg), I gained 3–3.5 kg with proper nutrition. Yoga and physiotherapy became my fitness anchors.

While I don’t take yoga classes formally, I practice consistently and maintain mobility, flexibility, and strength.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

FFD’s protocols taught me precision how to balance proteins, carbs, and fibers in my meals, and how to avoid unnecessary milk products. I also practice meditation to manage stress and keep sugars stable.

Inner transformation sessions, along with my own work as a healer, deepened my confidence. The support from experts like Tanmayi (dietitian) and Ashwini ma’am (exercise expert) has been exceptional.

Today, I feel in control mentally, physically, and emotionally.
