My Diabetes Story

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

When I got tested, I was diagnosed with diabetes, and I immediately started taking medicines.

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.

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.

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.
