My Diabetes Story

My diabetes diagnosis came as a surprise. It was during a routine health check-up that I found my HbA1c was around 9.6.

I didn’t have major symptoms, but I was slightly overweight and had a sedentary work-from-home lifestyle.

With a strong family history of diabetes with my father and grandparents having it I knew I had to take this seriously.

At that time, I was also on medication, and I wanted a way out not just to control diabetes, but to truly reverse it.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I got to know about FFD through a family connection. Someone known to us was already part of the program, and seeing their progress gave me confidence.

My goal was simple to lose weight, improve my health, and get off medication.

My Reversal Story

Once I joined FFD, I started working on my lifestyle step by step.

Within 3 months, I was able to completely stop my diabetes medicines. My HbA1c dropped significantly from 9.6 to 5.7.

I also lost around 12 kg, going from about 112 kg to nearly 100 kg.

This weight loss made a big difference not just physically, but in how I felt daily.

Other improvements followed:

  • My BP stabilized
  • My overall body functions improved
  • Skin issues like dark spots started reducing
I also completed the 9 Days Fast for Freedom. Initially, I had mild headaches, but as I progressed, I felt lighter, clearer, and more energetic. I even lost around 3 kg during that phase.

My Athletic Identity

While I didn’t formally define an athletic identity, I became much more active than before.

I started playing badminton regularly on weekends and made a conscious effort to move more.

From a sedentary routine, this shift towards activity has been a big change for me.

My Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, my lifestyle is completely different. I am more active, mindful about what I eat, and consistent with my routine.

I also practice meditation, which has helped me stay calm and even manage slight BP fluctuations.

This journey has been a turning point. It didn’t just change my sugar levels—it changed my lifestyle.

I know I still have a long way to go, but now I have the clarity and tools to stay on the right path.
