My Diabetes Story

My diabetes symptoms appeared suddenly in early 2023; constant thirst, severe fatigue, frequent urination, and an alarming, unexplained weight drop from 87 kg to 65 kg in barely three months.

I sensed something was wrong, and my tests confirmed it: fasting sugars above 200 and an HbA1c of 13.1.

Because of my age, doctors weren’t sure whether it was type 1 or type 2, so I was put on multiple medications without clear direction.

Despite taking 5–7 pills daily, including medicines before and after meals, nothing felt stable. My body was exhausted, my pancreas was overworked, and the weight loss was becoming dangerous.

How FFD Was Introduced & Why I Chose It

While buying “diabetic-friendly” products, I stumbled upon an ad for Freedom From Diabetes. Dr. Tripathi’s explanation of insulin resistance instantly made sense to me.

But what convinced me to join was the structure FFD studies each individual deeply before deciding what works for them. It wasn’t a survival plan; it was a reversal plan.

The promise of personalised learning, monitoring, and scientific implementation aligned perfectly with what I was searching for.

My Reversal Story

The first breakthrough came when the doctors reviewed my reports and decided I should shift from multiple medicines to insulin to stabilise my body and restore weight.

Within days of starting insulin, all diabetes pills stopped.

My dosage, which began at 8 units morning and night, has now reduced to 3–4 units.

My weight has moved from a dangerous 56 kg at joining to nearly 70 kg today, a healthy, steady gain after months of depletion.

Major symptoms disappeared:
Sleep became deeper and uninterrupted
Frequent urination drastically reduced
Constant afternoon crashes stopped
Mood stabilised and energy levels lifted
Triglycerides fell from 819 to 118 an extraordinary turnaround

Today, I’m moving towards further clarity on my type and medication needs, but my body finally feels supported, nourished, and stable.

Athletic Identity

Before diabetes, I was always active and involved in sports.

After joining FFD, I discovered how different exercises affect my sugars. Yoga, especially, gave me surprising benefits; steadiness, better breath control, and emotional balance.

While I’m still exploring what fits best long-term, fitness has once again become a positive, empowering part of my routine.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

My year with FFD has been insightful. The team doctors, dietitians, experts handled my frustrations, doubts, and fears with calmness and clarity.

The diet plans helped me understand how each food affects me personally. Inner transformation sessions gave me tools for sleep, breathing, and emotional regulation.

Today, I feel lighter mentally, stronger physically, and much more confident about managing my health the right way.
