My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was discovered accidentally after I suffered a mild heart-related episode nearly 15 years ago. During routine medical tests, I was told I had diabetes.
There was a strong family history. Both my parents were diabetic. Over the years, I was placed on Metformin (1000 mg per day).
Despite medication, I felt constantly hungry, tired, and struggled with strong food cravings.
I believed that rising sugar meant higher medicine doses and that freedom from medicines was impossible.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
A close friend and former colleague, Mr. Madhav, joined the Freedom From Diabetes program.
When I saw the visible change in his weight, energy levels, and the fact that he had become medicine-free, I was genuinely inspired.

Until then, I believed lifestyle change at my age was impossible.
But witnessing his transformation convinced me to give FFD a fair chance. That decision changed everything.

Reversal Story
At joining, my HbA1c was 8.0, even while on diabetes medication.
By sincerely following the FFD food protocols, guided diet plans, and regular medical follow-ups, my medicine dosage was reduced step-by-step from 1000 mg to 500 mg, then 250 mg and within one month, I became completely medicine-free.
Within four months, I lost nearly 10 kg. My cravings reduced, hunger normalized, and energy levels improved drastically.
Today, my HbA1c stands at 6.5 maintained through lifestyle, not medication.
Athletic Identity
Before FFD, structured exercise was difficult due to fatigue.
Today, I walk 7 to 8 kilometers daily and comfortably cycle 10 kilometers regularly.
I feel lighter, stronger, and far more active than I did years ago.

Movement has become a part of my daily life, not a forced routine.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Even though I could attend only about 60% of the live sessions due to my work commitments at that time, I followed the protocols sincerely.
I also attended FFD retreats and Mukthotsav programs, where the teachings of Dr. Pramod Tripathi and the FFD team deeply inspired me.
Even in two days of retreat, I felt energized, disciplined, and mentally refreshed.
