My Diabetes Story
Diabetes entered my life through gestational diabetes during my second pregnancy in 2002. Over the years, it progressed into Type 2 diabetes.
I also developed high BP and cholesterol, and my eGFR was slightly low. What worried me most was my strong family history. My father, both grandmothers, and my uncle all had diabetes.
In May 2020, I lost my father to diabetes-related complications, including amputation. That loss deeply impacted me and became a turning point.
How Was FFD Introduced & Why I Chose It
I first heard about Dr. Pramod Tripathi through a video by Dr. Hegde.
Curious, I searched online and discovered Freedom From Diabetes.

What pushed me to join was fear but also determination. I did not want my story to end the way my father did.
Mrs. Savitha NanjangudMy Reversal Story
I joined Freedom From Diabetes for the first time in 2021, and within just four months, I experienced a remarkable shift in my health.
I lost 5 kg, stopped all diabetes medications, brought my HbA1c down to around 6.0, and began focusing on muscle building while preparing for a GTT.

However, in June 2022, a severe car accident turned my life upside down.
The intense physical and emotional stress led to a setback, and I had to restart medications, including Metformin 1000 mg, Lisinopril 20 mg, and a statin.
In January 2025, I returned to FFD with renewed commitment.

Today, I am once again off Metformin, maintaining an HbA1c of 6.6 without any diabetes medication.
And I am actively working on lowering it further through consistent muscle building and strength training.

Inner Transformation Experience
This was the most powerful part of FFD for me.
The emotional release sessions helped me process deep-rooted stress and trauma. I continued therapy alongside FFD, which supported my recovery immensely.
After my accident, I met Dr. Pramod Tripathi in San Jose and shared my entire journey.
His advice was simple and compassionate: Heal first. Reduce stress. Then come back stronger.

That guidance changed everything and I followed it exactly.
Athletic Identity
- I am still evolving my athletic identity, but my current focus is:
- Weight training for muscle building
- Yoga for flexibility and calm
- Walking and hiking for endurance
- Movement is now a source of joy, not pressure.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
I feel confident, strong, and positive. I stay active, eat mindfully, and love being part of the FFD Bay Area community.
FFD didn’t just help me manage diabetes, it taught me how to heal myself physically and emotionally.
