My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was diagnosed back in 2010, during a routine medical checkup.
Initially, I was in the borderline range, but over time it progressed into full diabetes. I had a family history, as my mother also had diabetes.
Interestingly, I never experienced any major symptoms, which made it easy to ignore the seriousness of the condition.
However, things escalated when my sugar levels went high, and doctors at AIIMS Delhi warned me that if I didn’t bring it under control within a month, I would have to start taking insulin.
How I Found Freedom From Diabetes
I came across Freedom From Diabetes through social media and also heard success stories from people who had already joined the program.
Seeing real results from others gave me confidence that this approach could work.
That motivated me to take action before my condition worsened further.

My Reversal Journey
When I joined the program, my HbA1c was 9.6, and I was on regular medication.
By following the FFD diet, lifestyle changes, and expert guidance, I started seeing steady improvements.
One of the biggest wins was that I was able to avoid insulin completely, despite being at high risk.
Today, my medicines have been reduced to minimal levels, and in many situations, I don’t need them at all unless there are lifestyle deviations like parties or irregular meals.
Weight was a major turning point in my journey.
I reduced my weight from 96 kg to 84 kg, losing 12 kg, which significantly improved my overall health.
Earlier, simple activities like sitting, standing, and walking felt heavy and uncomfortable. Now, everything feels much easier and smoother.
Along with weight loss:
- Cholesterol levels improved
- Fatty liver reduced from Grade 3 to Grade 2
- Kidney parameters (creatinine, eGFR) improved
- Overall energy, confidence, and personality improved
Root Cause Realization
One of the biggest realizations during this journey was understanding the root cause.
My lifestyle earlier involved:
- Large portion sizes
- Frequent intake of sweets and heavy meals
- Lack of structured eating habits
- There was no awareness of portion control or nutritional balance.
FFD helped me bring in discipline, structure, and awareness, which made a lasting difference.
Athletic Identity
Fitness has always been a part of my routine.
I have been a regular gym-goer, even before joining the program. However, after losing weight, my efficiency and stamina improved significantly.
Earlier, I would experience heavy breathing, but now I can walk longer distances and exercise more comfortably.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I follow a much more aware and disciplined lifestyle.
I actively monitor my blood sugar and weight, and based on that, I make quick adjustments like skipping a meal or reducing carbs when required.
Simple habits like light dinners, portion control, and regular monitoring have helped me stay in control.
Looking back, the biggest achievement is that I was able to avoid insulin and regain control over my health.
