My Diabetes Story
My diabetes began early, around age 38–40 much earlier than my father, who developed it in his 70s. Initially, I felt drowsy, tired, and unwilling to work. When I got my tests done, my sugars were high, and the diagnosis was clear.
For 8–9 years, I lived on medication. Over time, the drug potency kept increasing. Doctors even warned me: “If you don’t control your sugars, we will have to start insulin.”
The most alarming symptom was the tingling sensation in my feet, a sign of neuropathy. Combined with stress, long work hours, and declining energy, I knew something had to change.
How FFD Entered My Life
I had watched Dr. Tripathi’s videos for years. I even attended one of his earlier sessions but couldn’t join at that time. This year, I finally managed to enroll and it has been the most impactful step of my life.
My Reversal Story
My starting HbA1c was 11, and I was on strong medications: Metformin 1000 mg twice daily, Oxra S 10/100, and Telmisartan for BP.
Within just three months, all my diabetes and BP medicines were completely stopped, and my sugars stabilized beautifully, with post-meal readings fully under control.
I dropped 11 kg 74 kg to 63.5 kg in 4 months.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection
The 9-day fasting challenge was a turning point for me. It brought calmness, reduced anxiety, & improved sleep.
There is no bloating any more which also resulted in better skin and hair.

I also worked on my emotional well-being through Inner Transformation sessions with my psychologist (Poorvi ma’am).
Her tools 4-minute breathing, mirror talk, and open communication helped me handle guilt, pressure, and anxiety.
