How Vijayalaxmi Madhav Lost 14 Kg and Brought Her HbA1c Down to 6.0 Naturally with FFD

I Dropped My HbA1c From 8.4 to 6 In Just 3 Months!

Name - Mrs. Vijayalaxmi Digambar Madhav
Age - 45 Years Young
Profession - Bank Executive
Place - Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Hello, I’m Vijayalaxmi Digambar Madhav from Mumbai. I’m passionate about bike riding. My diabetes story began after a hysterectomy in March 2023. A year later, I developed severe foot pain, especially below my little toe. When I visited an orthopaedic, he suspected high uric acid or sugar and asked for tests. That’s how I discovered I had diabetes.

Key Takeaways:

Lost 14 kg naturally (from 89 kg to 75 kg) in 3 months
Lost nearly 15 kg (from 89.9 kg to 75 kg)
Cleared IGT
Arthritis-like pain and morning numbness reduced
Practises fasting, preparing for Fast for Freedom officially
Glowing skin and renewed confidence

My Diabetes Story

I had no obvious symptoms except foot pain. My father was diabetic from age 35 and was on insulin for 20 years so a strong family history existed.

After my surgery and sudden weight gain (10–15 kg within six months), my HbA1c climbed to 8.4–8.9.

My haemoglobin dropped to 5.5, and I didn’t want another surgery or to start medications. I requested my doctor to give me three weeks to try a lifestyle change instead.

How FFD Was Introduced to Me

I first came across FFD two years ago while helping my spiritual mentor enroll.

Later, I followed Dr. B. M. Hegde talks and saw him with Dr. Tripathi. I spoke to Mr. Malhar about obesity reversal, but only joined FFD fully when my HbA1c rose and my health felt at risk.

Reversal Story

With sheer determination, I reversed my sugars without medication. My HbA1c dropped from 8.4–8.9 to 6.0. My weight fell from 89.9 kg to 75 kg.

Menopause-related symptoms, constant tiredness, arthritis-like pain in my hands and face, and morning numbness have significantly improved.

My skin, once pale, regained glow during the first few months on the programme.

Though fever and festivals sometimes disrupted my routine, I keep coming back to the protocol and continue moving toward my target weight below 60 kg.

Athletic Identity

I love bike riding. Fasting has become another passion. I’ve already done 72-hour water fasts with “shahi pani” twice or thrice.

The first day feels tough, but after that it feels natural and energising. I’m officially enrolled for Fast for Freedom on 22nd September.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I’m from Goa and a foodie at heart. Earlier I used to eat without portion control; FFD taught me how to manage quantity.

I even became vegan for months. Now, even when I have non-veg occasionally with my dietitian’s permission, my portions are drastically smaller.

I practise Reiki and meditation, which help me stay positive and self-motivated. Earlier, my husband and guru had to bring me back on track; now I realign myself. FFD’s holistic approach diet, fasting, awareness ties mind and body together.

I fit into clothes I had packed away, and even they’re getting loose. I’ve regained confidence and joy. My goal is to reach 58–59 kg so I can maintain a healthy buffer.
