My Diabetes Story

Diabetes entered my life in 2004. I had symptoms, and since my father was a clinician and also diabetic, I consulted a doctor early.

For years, I managed diabetes with medication and caution, but fear was always present, fear of worsening numbers and complications.

How Was FFD Introduced & What Made Me Choose It

I had heard about Dr. Pramod Tripathi earlier through colleagues, but I wasn’t very serious initially.

Later, I received an official corporate invitation through my workplace (L&T). That is when I decided to give Freedom From Diabetes a genuine try.

My Reversal Story

When I joined FFD, my HbA1c had recently been 8.45, and at joining it was 7.7. Today, it has come down to 7.0, and more importantly, my medication has reduced.

I was taking three tablets earlier, which has now reduced to two, and the reduction is happening gradually and safely.

My weight dropped from 68 kg to 61 kg, nearly 7 kg, within a short span, something I had never achieved earlier.

Athletic Identity

  • I continued yoga, added gym workouts, and discovered a love for running.
  • I have done up to 24 Surya Namaskars in one stretch earlier
  • Currently comfortable with 6 in a go
  • Have already completed 2 marathon runs
  • Preparing for my 4th marathon
  • Physical activity has completely changed my energy levels and confidence.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I haven’t followed extreme restrictions. Instead, I learned:
  • Portion control
  • Food awareness
  • Smart carbohydrate choices
  • Conscious eating
I may not practice meditation regularly, but yoga and physical movement keep me mentally balanced and energetic.
