My Diabetes Story

My diabetes was diagnosed during a routine health check-up, and I also had a family history of diabetes.

Over time, my condition worsened. My medications kept increasing, I was on three different diabetes medicines, including 1000 mg of Metformin daily.

Along with this, I faced constant acidity, a burning sensation after meals, and extreme lethargy. 

At the same time, I was also struggling with spondylitis, which caused severe, persistent pain.

There were days when the stiffness was so intense that I couldn’t even move my arms freely. This added to my discomfort and made daily activities even more difficult.

These symptoms became a part of my everyday life, affecting both my physical and mental well-being.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I first came to know about Freedom From Diabetes around the COVID period when I attended one of Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s Discover Reversal Session. I didn’t join immediately but kept following the program.

Eventually, in January, I decided to take the step and join. Something about the structured, scientific approach and consistent support made me feel this was the right place to begin my transformation.

My Reversal Story

My journey with FFD has been truly life-changing. I started with an HbA1c of 8.2, and today it is down to 6.1 and I am completely off all diabetes medications.

The transition was gradual. First, one medicine was stopped, then the dosage of others was reduced, and within a few days, I became completely medicine-free.

I also experienced a massive weight loss of 20 kg, going from 75 kg to 55 kg at my peak. Currently, I maintain around 60 kg, with added strength from my workouts.

My blood reports showed remarkable improvement triglycerides, LDL, and other markers that were once very high are now well within normal range.

One of the most surprising transformations was my recovery from spondylitis.

With the FFD diet and simple guided exercises, the severe pain that once limited my movement gradually reduced and eventually disappeared completely.

Today, I can move freely without any discomfort, something that once felt impossible.

During the 9-day fasting program, I lost around 3 kg and experienced something even more powerful; a deep sense of calm, clarity, and focus. My sleep improved significantly, and my energy levels remained high even during fasting.

Athletic Identity

Today, I lead a very active lifestyle. I walk 5–6 kilometers regularly, practice strength training, and have completed multiple fasting cycles.

My true passion lies in hiking and trekking. I have explored beautiful trails across Scotland, Philippines, and Malaysia even while continuing my program.

One of my most memorable experiences was trekking near Lake Lomond in Scotland, which was both physically challenging and breathtaking.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

One of the biggest transformations in my life is not just physical, it is the ease and confidence with which I now live.

Even while traveling across countries for months, I was able to follow the program effortlessly by simply choosing fresh, clean food.

I have also transitioned to a completely vegan lifestyle, eliminating dairy and focusing on plant-based nutrition.

There were moments when I struggled or couldn’t follow everything perfectly, but the constant support and encouragement from the FFD team helped me stay on track without fear or pressure.

Today, I feel like a completely different person, more energetic, more capable, and more in control of my health.
