My Diabetes Story

I was taking medicines continuously for years to manage diabetes.

My weight had increased due to lifestyle habits, though I had previously lost around 12 kg with exercise and diet modifications.

Despite controlling my blood sugar, I wanted a sustainable solution that could reduce my weight and help me become medicine-free.

How FFD Was Introduced to Me

I learned about FFD through Facebook, YouTube, and Tata Steel’s wellness program. I joined the third batch (LTP 3) with the goal of reducing weight and reversing diabetes.

Reversal Story

When I joined FFD, my primary goal was to reduce weight and bring my diabetes under control without relying on medications.

I carefully followed the diet and exercise protocols provided by the program.

Unlike before, where I tried managing my health on my own, FFD gave me a structured approach that was sustainable and evidence-based.

Within the first few days of joining, I was able to stop all my medications under guidance, which was a huge relief.

Following the FFD program consistently, I gradually lost weight, going from 92 kg to 77 kg.

Alongside weight loss, my HbA1c dropped from 6.4 to 5.8, reflecting significant improvement in blood sugar control.

Athletic Identity

I discovered my love for running and now regularly practice, completing distances of 10–17 km.

My first 17 km run was part of my marathon preparation. Running keeps me active, focused, and motivated to maintain my health.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I continue to follow FFD’s structured diet and exercise plan. Although I haven’t joined Fast for Freedom yet, I occasionally practice one-day juice fasting weekly.

Losing weight, becoming medicine-free, and improving my fitness has given me renewed energy and confidence.
