My Diabetes Story
My journey with diabetes began in 2013 when my HbA1c was 7.5. My doctor prescribed Metformin 2000 mg per day, which I continued for years.
Deep down, I always hoped there might be a way to live without medication but I had no idea that reversal was possible.
In 2019, a friend mentioned Freedom From Diabetes. I looked it up online, read about their approach, and joined without expectations but with hope. To my surprise, within three weeks, I was completely off medicine.
How FFD Was Introduced and Why I Chose It
My decision to join FFD was driven by curiosity and trust. After reading about people who had actually reversed diabetes, I felt it was worth a try.
Even though I did not know any details of the program, the concept of natural reversal and holistic healing resonated with me.
Looking back, I can say it was a life-changing decision.

Reversal Story
Before FFD, I believed I was already living a healthy life. I walked regularly and ate what I thought was “balanced.” But FFD showed me what real wellness looks like.
Through structured guidance from the doctors, dietitians, and exercise experts, I learned how to eat right for my body, more raw foods, plant-based options, and proper meal timing.
The exercise protocol brought strength and confidence I’d never experienced before.
Within weeks, my energy rose and my sugars stabilized. The transition off medication was smooth and monitored and my reports have remained normal for over five years now.
Athletic Identity
Before FFD, I was never an “exercise person.” That changed completely when Dr. Malhar added me to the Legends Group then called the Athletes Group. That moment felt like a personal milestone.
I don’t focus on advancing in any one exercise form. Instead, I enjoy a combination of workouts, strength training, stretching, and cardio. The gym has become my happy place, a space that energizes and grounds me every day.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
My work as a CA and CPA is demanding, often involving long hours and deadlines. Yet, FFD’s protocols fit seamlessly into my routine. The diet is simple to follow, with plenty of flexibility and minimal planning.
Even after the program ended, I stayed connected through FFD’s community, a unique and uplifting feature that helps us stay on track long-term.
Looking back, I often say I’m thankful for diabetes, because it led me to a better, healthier life.
Today I feel stronger, more informed, and deeply grateful to Dr. Pramod Tripathi, Dr. Malhar Ganla, and the entire FFD team for their guidance and support.
