My Diabetes Story
My diagnosis happened after I started experiencing weakness and fatigue, especially in my legs.

However, even after being on medication, my sugar levels were still not well-controlled.
My HbA1c was around 7.2, and I often felt tired and low on energy.
My HbA1c was around 7.2, and I often felt tired and low on energy.
There was no family history of diabetes, which made it even more surprising for me.
Challenges I Faced
- Even while taking medicines:
- My blood sugar remained high
- I experienced constant fatigue and weakness
- My weight kept increasing
My lifestyle, especially late-night routines, was not helping my condition
I also had a thyroid issue, which may have contributed to weight gain and metabolic imbalance.
How I Discovered FFD
I came to know about Freedom From Diabetes through a relative who had already experienced benefits from the program.
After seeing their results and understanding the approach, I decided to join and give it a serious try.
My Reversal Journey
When I joined the program, my HbA1c was 7.2.
I was taking around 1000 mg of diabetes medication daily, but within 3 months of following the program, my doctor gradually advised me to stop medicines completely.
I was taking around 1000 mg of diabetes medication daily, but within 3 months of following the program, my doctor gradually advised me to stop medicines completely.
Today, my HbA1c is around 5.5, and I am managing my health without regular medication.
One of the biggest changes in my journey has been my weight loss.
- Starting weight: 92.6 kg
- Current weight: 72 kg
That’s a reduction of nearly 20 kg, which has significantly improved my overall health and energy levels.
Health Improvements
Along with diabetes reversal, I saw improvements in several health markers:
- Liver enzymes (SGPT/SGOT) normalized
- VLDL, cholesterol, and triglycerides came under control
- Reduced fatigue and weakness
- Better daily energy and activity levels
Fasting Experience
I did try the fasting protocol, but it did not suit my body.
I experienced weakness and anxiety, so I decided not to continue with it after consulting a local doctor.
This made me realize an important point: Everybody is different, and it’s important to follow what suits you best.
Lifestyle & Routine
My current routine includes:
- Following exercise videos provided in the program
- Practicing yoga regularly
- Doing around 12 Surya Namaskars
I maintain a disciplined lifestyle now, especially compared to my earlier routine.
Current Reflection
Looking back, I feel that my earlier lifestyle, especially late nights and lack of routine played a major role in my health issues.
Now, I am more aware, disciplined, and careful about my habits.
The transformation has not just been physical but also about taking responsibility for my health.
