My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was detected during a routine check-up. I did not have any noticeable symptoms, and there was no family history either, which made it even more unexpected.
Initially, I was prescribed Glycomet (500 mg), which I continued for a short period.
Within a couple of months, as my readings improved, I was able to stop the medication.

However, over the years, managing diabetes became more about consistency and awareness rather than just medication.

When I came across FFD, what stood out to me was how everything was customized diet, doctor consultations, and overall guidance based on individual needs.
It felt like a complete system rather than just a generic program, which made me decide to join.

My Reversal Story
Since joining FFD, I have developed a much deeper understanding of my body and my condition.

One important realization for me was how much stress impacts my fasting sugar levels.
While my post-meal readings remain stable, fasting sugars sometimes fluctuate due to stress, which helped me become more mindful of my mental and emotional health.

I also underwent short fasting protocols like juice fasting, which made me feel lighter, more comfortable, and mentally calm.
Although I gained 3 kg in weight from 55 kg to 58 kg and maintained a healthy BMI from 20–22, which is equally important for long-term health.
There were phases where health challenges and personal stress affected my routine, but I am now getting back on track with more awareness and focus.
Athletic Identity
I try to stay active with walking and yoga whenever possible.
While there have been some gaps due to weather and personal challenges, I continue to make efforts to stay consistent.
