My Diabetes Story

Mr. Manohar Kantak’s diabetes was detected during a routine blood check.

There were no major symptoms, no fatigue, no excessive thirst, nothing alarming.

With no family history of diabetes, the diagnosis came as a surprise.

Like many, he relied on medication and general diet control to manage it.

However, over time, he realized that managing diabetes needed more than just basic efforts.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

He first heard about the program earlier but couldn’t join due to time constraints.

Later, after attending a Discover Reversal Session, something changed. The approach made sense.

“At this age, I cannot expect miracles but things can improve. So why not try?”

That simple decision became the turning point.

Mr. Manohar Kantak

Reversal Story

When he started the program:

  • HbA1c was around 7.3
  • Weight was 70 kg
  • He was on 3 tablets daily (including Metformin 500 mg twice a day)
Over time, with consistent efforts:

  • HbA1c improved to 6.2 in 7 months 
  • Weight reduced to 60 kg
  • Lipid profile (TG/HDL ratio) came under control
  • He didn’t follow extremes. He followed consistency.
He admits that he didn’t expect dramatic results but what he achieved was steady, sustainable, and real.
He also experienced improved energy and felt more active in daily life.
 
Athletic Identity

  • Even at 70, his routine is disciplined and inspiring:
  • 40 squats daily
  • Dumbbell exercises
  • Knee push-ups and planks
  • Occasional Surya Namaskars
  • Leg strengthening exercises with weights
  • His focus is simple: stay active every single day.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

  • His day starts early around 4:45 AM.
  • Meditation (10–15 minutes)
  • Structured meals
  • Daily exercise routine
He didn’t rely on shortcuts like fasting challenges, as advised by experts due to his lower BMI.

Instead, he focused on what suits his body and stayed consistent.

His biggest learning

“You may not follow everything 100%, but even 70–80% consistency gives results.”
 

Key Quote

“It is worth trying. Dedicate time for your health, even partial consistency gives satisfying results.”
