My Diabetes Story

For 17 years, I lived with diabetes and took two tablets every day.

But my concern was never about taking those 2 tablets life long but my real worry was the damage that long-term medication might have already caused to my kidneys, liver, eyes, and organs.

My goal, therefore, was not just to stop medicines — but to reverse internal damages. 

That is what brought me to Freedom From Diabetes.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I received a WhatsApp message with Dr. BM Hegde’s speech, who spoke about Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s great work in diabetes reversal. I immediately attended the introductory session.

I asked one clear question: “Can FFD reverse the damage caused by years of diabetes medication?”

When I understood the depth of medical monitoring and holistic healing offered, I enrolled immediately.

Reversal Story

I never had a family-Doctor! I got to know that I am diabetic when I went for the annual health check up that my organisation offered, in 2008.

I was advised to take one tablet twice a day, LIFE LONG and avoid sweets forever! Period. 
 
I joined FFD on 8th February 2025. At that time, my HbA1c was 7.3 despite taking medicines.

From Day 1, the FFD medical team monitored my sugar levels multiple times daily and adjusted medicines carefully.

By 20th February, just 12 days after joining, I was told to stop diabetes medication completely.

Today, nearly a year later, I have not touched a single diabetes tablet.

My HbA1c is 5.9 without medicines. I also successfully cleared my GTT on 2nd Aug 2025.
 
What amazed me most was the depth of medical guidance, constant tracking, supplement correction, kidney and liver monitoring, thyroid balancing, and precise nutrition adjustments, the FFD team gave.

FFD did not just control diabetes, they rebuilt my health! It was only during this journey that i discovered that BP and Cholesterol were also part of my shadow!

But the FFD team quickly addressed these too and within few months, I got my complete Freedom without any medication!! 100 marks to Team FFD!

Athletic Identity

After retirement, I discovered badminton. Today, at 63, I play two hours of badminton daily, do 12 Surya Namaskars, and go to the gym for muscle building.

I comfortably play with people 20–30 years younger and make them run.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I lost more than 13 kgs resulting in my clothing size getting reduced dramatically and all the shirts and pants had to be altered to reduce 2-3 inches !!

There is no belly, no fatigue, and no fear of diabetes anymore. I had 42 mangoes, one each every day, this season !!

I follow FFD food principles, intermittent fasting, weekly juice feasting and disciplined eating. Cravings disappeared. Coffee, sugar, and old habits naturally faded away.

Most importantly, FFD has become my family doctor for life, a team that knows my body better than any traditional healthcare system ever did.

One does not need to carry past reports at FFD and this is another reason, I call FFD more than a family-doctor !!
