My Diabetes Story
I discovered I had diabetes about one and a half years ago. I was constantly thirsty and visiting the washroom frequently.
My brother-in-law, who is a doctor, noticed these symptoms and advised me to get my blood sugar tested.

The reports showed very high blood sugar levels. Apart from diabetes, I was also dealing with excess weight and high blood pressure.
Diabetes already existed in my family, as my mother has diabetes and is on insulin injections.

How I Found FFD
I came to know about FFD 5 months ago, in February 2026. One of my colleagues told me about Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Freedom From Diabetes.
He suggested that I attend a webinar and understand the approach.

I registered for the Discover Reversal Session (DRS) and attended it with an open mind.

Most importantly, I wanted to avoid becoming dependent on insulin injections in the future. That motivation pushed me to enroll in the program.
Mr. Guruprasad Shenai My Reversal Journey
When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was 7.9 and I was taking Glycomet-M1 once daily.
My weight had reached 128 kg, and my health markers were beginning to show signs of concern.

Under the guidance of my doctor, dietitian, and exercise expert, I started following the meal protocols and made simple but effective dietary changes.
I reduced bakery products, dairy products, and other foods that were affecting my health. The 25% meal protocol helped me immensely during the initial months.

More than anything, I regained confidence that my health was moving in the right direction.

Athletic Identity

However, as my weight increased, I started feeling breathless even while walking.
