For years, I lived under the shadow of hereditary diabetes. After my second delivery, my weight ballooned to an exhausting 104 kg. No matter what I tried, I was stuck on a frustrating weight plateau and constantly felt drained of energy. Everything changed when my husband found Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) on Facebook. I decided to take a leap of faith. In this story, I want to share how I stopped all my medications in just one month, lost an incredible 20 kg with FFD, and finally found the boundless energy and peace of mind I thought was lost forever.

 

Diabetes runs heavily in my family; my mother had it as well. During my deliveries, my blood sugar was fine, but my weight shot up to 104 kg and then came down to 98 kg.

Around the age of 50, right as menopause hit, routine tests confirmed I had developed diabetes.

I didn't have severe physical symptoms other than heavy weight gain, but knowing my family history,

I wanted to take care of it.

Even while taking medications like Glaxambia at night and Metformin 500 in the morning, and despite doing some initial exercise to bring my weight down from 98 kg to 84-85 kg, my weight remained stubbornly stuck at around 83 kg.

My husband found FFD on Facebook.

He saw how many years I had been taking pills and how much money we were spending on hospital visits and medications annually.

He encouraged me to just give it a try.

I was initially skeptical and worried it might be just another gimmick, but his constant support gave me the push I needed to join.

I started the program taking Glaxambia and Metformin 500.

To my absolute amazement, within just one month of joining FFD, my medicines were completely stopped!

I had a brief phone check-in with Udita Ma'am where we talked in general.

Since I didn't have major mental roadblocks, we mostly discussed staying connected with my children virtually, which brought me great comfort.

I weighed around 83 kg when I started FFD.

Through the program's systematic guidance, I shed another 20 kg, bringing me down to a healthy 63 kg (adding to the 20 kg I had previously managed to lose on my own, making it a 40 kg total transformation).

My HbA1c went from a dangerous 9.1 all the way down to a healthy 6.3. I have been completely medicine-free ever since those first 30 days.

Reaching a weight I hadn't seen since my wedding days has completely transformed my self-esteem and outlook on life.

I never thought I'd call myself a runner, but I have successfully run 10 km three times! I started small with 3 km and 5 km runs.

Alongside running, I do terrace workouts, dumbbells, jumping jacks, and pushups on my railings.

I also followed Dr. Shubhankar's knee exercises from the Freedom from Pain program, which completely cured the stiffness in my right leg.

I participated in the Fast for Freedom (FFF) program three times. In the early rounds, I lost about 3 to 4 kg, and in the last one, I lost around 0.5 to 1 kg.

Fasting brought me a profound sense of lightness in my body, stabilized my sugars perfectly, and completely wiped out all my previous lethargy.

My mental health has never been better. I practice daily meditation, morning quiet time, affirmations, and the night chanting taught by FFD mentors.

These mindfulness practices cleared away my daily irritability and filled me with a deep, lasting sense of optimism and joy.

Today, my routine is incredibly disciplined. I wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 AM, eat a piece of fruit, and head up to the terrace.

I do my body warm-ups, a 20-minute jog, dumbbell exercises, cardio, and mudra-based movements.

I feel absolutely fantastic and energetic all day long—no more afternoon naps or feeling lethargic!

The FFD team has been like a godsend to me. I feel overwhelmingly grateful and am eagerly looking forward to participating in the upcoming video testimonials.
