My Diabetes Story

My sugar issue was first detected when a home test showed a reading of 180.

 I was overweight 75 kg at just five feet tall and had a family history of diabetes.

When my doctor started tablets, I knew I didn’t want a life dependent on medicines.

I wanted to heal naturally. That search changed my life.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

In early 2020, came across the book The Diabetic Code by Jason Fung.

The words Green Smoothie stood out from this book and researching online discovered Freedom From Diabetes organisation and watched all their You Tube content.

I didn’t even take membership initially. I simply tried the smoothie recipe shared by FFD.

Within five days, my sugar dropped from 180 to 120 and I lost 2 kg.

That result convinced me. In March 2020, just before COVID lockdown, I joined FFD.

With no outside distractions and full commitment, I followed the food plan, smoothie, and lifestyle guidance consistently even during lockdown when getting vegetables was difficult.

Reversal Story

When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was around 7.2 and I weighed 75 kg. I decided to follow the FFD protocols with full sincerity and the results changed my life.

I lost nearly 20 kg, and my lowest HbA1c touched an incredible 5.1. Within about a month, my diabetes and blood pressure medicines were safely stopped under medical guidance. 

I cleared my GTT in the very first attempt, something I once thought was impossible.

By October 2020, I had undergone a complete transformation and was honored with the FFD Gold category award.

And even five years later, the Green Smoothie continues to be a non-negotiable daily ritual, a reminder of the lifestyle that gave me my health back.

Athletic Identity

I plan to be a gym person soon and I love swimming and cycling too. I also developed my own routine of Strengthening exercises
  • Pranayama
  • Targeted body workouts
  • FFD exercise modules
Whenever life becomes peaceful, my weight drops quickly because my body is trained to respond.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

FFD is no longer a program for us, it is our family’s lifestyle.

My husband, daughter, and son have all followed FFD at different stages.

As a family, we have collectively lost close to 100 kg during the COVID years.

Our kitchen runs on:
  • Green smoothies
  • High-protein breakfasts
  • One-meal or hunger-based eating
  • Fresh salads and FFD recipes
I learned something most valuable:

Food is not meant to be forced. Hunger must be respected.

Today:
  • I remain free from diabetes and BP medicines
  • My energy levels are high
  • People don’t believe I am 60
  • My digestion, skin, and overall vitality have transformed
Even when stress or temporary weight gain occurs, I know exactly how to return to balance because FFD changed my mindset permanently.
