Key Takeaways

Lost 3 kg during Fast for Freedom

Reduced dependency on diabetes medicines

My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes around the age of 37. There is a family history of diabetes, my father had diabetes.

I believe my condition started after severe drug reactions I experienced earlier, which took years to recover from.

Initially, I noticed cravings and changes in eating patterns, which led to testing and confirmation of diabetes.

Since my family includes doctors, I remained under medical supervision, but over the years, my sugar levels gradually increased.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I came across Freedom From Diabetes through an advertisement.

My main intention was to understand whether my medicines were truly necessary or if lifestyle changes could help reduce my dependency.

After discussions with the FFD team, especially Vaishali ma’am, I felt confident enough to join and explore a structured, scientific approach to diabetes management.

My Reversal & Improvement Story

Before joining FFD, my HbA1c had touched 8.3. Through consistent lifestyle changes, fasting, and dietary corrections, my HbA1c reduced to around 7.5.

With FFD, I lost about 7–8 kg and have been able to maintain my weight between 58–60 kg, which was difficult earlier despite multiple attempts.

During the 9-Day Fast for Freedom, I lost an additional 3 kg and noticed clear improvement in digestion and overall lightness.

My diabetes medicines were reviewed and reduced under guidance, and my understanding of food, especially oil, portion control, and meal patterns improved significantly.

Fast for Freedom & Retreat Experience

I attended the FFD retreat and Fast for Freedom, which helped me clearly understand:

How to transition from regular eating to healthy eating
How fasting supports digestion and metabolic balance
Why lifestyle correction is essential for long-term results
Although fasting was challenging initially, the benefits made it worthwhile.

Athletic Identity

I may not follow a fixed athletic routine, but I remain active through daily work, movement, and regular exercise as advised in the program.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

FFD helped me realise that diabetes management is not just about medicines but about lifestyle, food awareness, and discipline.

Even after many years of diabetes, meaningful improvement is possible when the right guidance is followed. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Dr. Malhar.
