My Diabetes Story

For years, I was unaware of pre-diabetes. After giving birth to my son 21 years ago, I developed high blood pressure during pregnancy and have been on medication since.

My HbA1c gradually reached 6.2, signaling pre-diabetes. I knew I had to act early, but I wasn’t sure how.

How FFD Was Introduced

I heard about Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) through my husband, who works at Tata Steel. The program’s structured approach seemed perfect to guide me on diet, exercise, and lifestyle to manage my pre-diabetic condition.

Reversal Story

FFD helped me regain control over my health. My HbA1c, which was 6.2, has now reduced to 5.6 without any medications.

I lost weight from 72.5 kg to a lowest of 60.7 kg, achieving an ideal BMI. The program regulated my diet, helping me understand which foods truly impact sugar levels.

Intermittent fasting and following protocols like smoothie feasting helped me adjust my routine safely.

Even my blood pressure has become more regulated, with my doctor gradually considering lowering my medication dose.

Athletic Identity

Before joining FFD, I used to run casually, but I wasn’t confident in long distances. With FFD, I improved my pace and stamina.

I now participate in 10 km and 21 km runs, and I recently completed a half marathon. FFD’s guidance in combining running with strength training and yoga has been transformative.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

FFD has been a constant guide, helping me make informed decisions about my diet, exercise, and lifestyle.

I practice yoga, pranayama, and journaling regularly. The program not only helped me reverse pre-diabetes but also enhanced my overall fitness and confidence.
