My Diabetes Story
I discovered my diabetes during a routine checkup in 2013. There was no family history, no symptoms, no discomfort.
Like many people say, diabetes comes with “parallel gifts” BP, cholesterol, and other metabolic issues slowly follow.

I was taking medicines on and off, not always consistently. The numbers stayed manageable, but deep down I knew this wasn’t real control.
How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?
I came across a Freedom From Diabetes program message and decided to enroll.
I had already explored different options, but what attracted me here was the focus on commitment and reversal, not dependency.

My mindset was clear from day one if I’m doing this, I’m doing it to reverse, not just manage.

My Reversal Story
When I joined the program, my HbA1c was around 8.3 to 7.2, and my weight fluctuated between 87 kg.
Today, my weight has come down steadily to 82.5 kg, with a noticeable waist reduction of 1.5 inches.
At 178–180 cm tall, my focus was never on looking thin or weak, but on building and maintaining strength, balance, and long-term fitness.

I believe health is about sustainability, not extremes.
Under FFD guidance, some medicines were reduced or stopped wherever side effects outweighed benefits, following a logical and practical approach rather than blind dependency.
This shift gave me confidence that my health was finally being managed with clarity and control.

Athletic Identity
My work involves a lot of travel, movement, and physical activity. Along with that, I focus on:
- Walking
- Basic flexibility
- Consistent daily movement
I believe even 70–85% discipline done consistently can control the disease and keep it stable long term.
Inner Transformation & Mental Health
- I strongly believe in meditation.
- I practice it independently using simple tools Google, WhatsApp, short guided audios.
- Even 15–20 minutes a day brings calm, clarity, and emotional balance.
- Meditation teaches you control not just over sugar, but over thoughts.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
FFD gave me flexibility, not rigidity. As someone with a touring job, following rigid rules is difficult but FFD helped me understand how to adapt without losing control.
This program is not about perfection. It’s about commitment, awareness, and consistency.
