My Diabetes Story
A few years ago, I started experiencing a burning sensation in my feet, which made me worried. After medical tests, I was diagnosed with diabetes.
Diabetes also runs in my family, so I knew I had to take this seriously.
Apart from the burning sensation, I did not have major symptoms, but I didn’t want the condition to worsen over time.

How Was FFD Introduced & Why I Chose It
I came across Freedom From Diabetes through a short video on social media. What caught my attention was the idea of diabetes reversal, not just control.
That clarity made me join the program with one clear intention to live without lifelong medication.
My Reversal Story
When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was around 7.6, even while I was on medication.
After my very first consultation, the doctor advised me to stop diabetes medicines immediately, and I have remained medicine-free since then.

Currently, my HbA1c is 7.2 without medicines.
There was a phase of about two months when I could not follow the protocols properly due to travel, and that reflected in my numbers.
However, earlier my HbA1c had come down to 6.3, showing that the process works when followed consistently.

Over the last month, I have been back on track, and my daily sugar readings are improving again.
Physical Health & Fitness Improvements
Weight was never a major issue for me, but I still reduced from around 76–77 kg to 71 kg.
After starting gym workouts, I gained some weight again, which I understand is muscle mass, not fat.

I play cricket every Sunday and have now added regular gym training, which has made me feel fitter and stronger overall.
Inner Transformation Experience
I attended the group Inner Transformation sessions during the initial phase of the program.
Although I haven’t been regular with meditation, the sessions helped me understand the mental and emotional aspects of health and stress.

Athletic Identity
I don’t follow a fixed athletic identity, but I stay active through gym workouts and cricket, which keeps my energy levels high and body engaged.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I am completely off diabetes medicines, physically active, and far more aware of how lifestyle affects blood sugar.
Even though consistency dipped for a while, I now clearly see that when I follow the FFD protocols sincerely, my numbers improve.
