My Diabetes Story
My diabetes diagnosis was quite casual and unexpected.
I didn’t have a strong family history, except for my mother developing diabetes at a much later age.
However, my body was already going through multiple challenges; thyroid imbalance, menopause, and weight gain.

Over time, my weight increased from 72 kg to 90 kg, despite trying different methods like intermittent fasting and diet changes.
Nothing seemed to work, and it felt like my body was not responding at all.
How I Found Freedom From Diabetes
I had heard about FFD earlier but was not convinced initially.
It was actually my relative’s transformation that changed my perspective.
She had reversed her prediabetes and lost weight within a short span, and she strongly encouraged me to join.

That personal proof gave me the confidence to finally take the step.

My Reversal Journey
When I joined the program, my HbA1c was 7.1, even while I was on medication.
With the FFD approach, my progress was steady and encouraging.
Within 4 months, I was able to completely stop diabetes medicines, and my HbA1c dropped to around 6.3 and then further to 6.0.
This transformation happened through structured diet, fasting, and expert guidance, even though my exercise routine was limited due to knee pain.
Beyond diabetes, I saw improvements across multiple health markers.
My fasting insulin reduced from around 15 to 11, cholesterol levels improved, and even my hemoglobin, Vitamin D, and B12 levels showed positive changes.
Earlier, even basic daily activities felt exhausting, and I struggled with low energy and anxiety.
Now, I feel much more energetic and capable of managing my daily life.
My sleep cycle has also improved, shifting from extremely late nights to a more stable routine.
Weight Loss Transformation
Weight loss has always been a struggle for me.
Despite trying several methods earlier, nothing worked.
But with FFD, my weight reduced from 90 kg to around 77 kg, a loss of 13 kg.

Even though my progress has plateaued slightly in recent months due to travel and inconsistency, the transformation has been significant and sustainable.
Athletic Identity
Due to knee pain, I couldn’t fully follow intense exercise routines.
However, I discovered my love for cycling, which has now become my primary activity. I cycle up to 10 km and follow a consistent routine along with basic movements.
This has helped me stay active without putting strain on my body.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
One of the biggest transformations has been mental and emotional.
Earlier, I struggled with high anxiety levels, and even small disruptions could trigger stress.
With practices like journaling and breathing techniques, I have been able to manage my emotions much better.

I have also successfully completed multiple fasting cycles, something I never imagined I could do before.
Today, even after dealing with thyroid, menopause, and diabetes together, I feel more in control of my health than ever before.
