My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was diagnosed quite unexpectedly in 2014. I had gone for a small surgery to remove a cyst from my head.
As part of the pre-surgery procedure, the doctor asked me to get my blood sugar tested.
I refused at first, saying there was no diabetes in my family. But when the reports came, my sugar reading was 485 mg/dL.

It was a shock. I later realised that my body had been showing signs for months of excessive thirst, frequent urination, and extreme drowsiness after meals.
At that time, I was physically active doing gym, walking, running, and cycling but mental stress had silently taken a toll on my health. That stress triggered my diabetes.

My HbA1c was 9.1, and I was put on insulin (18 units in the morning and 24 in the evening), along with high doses of Glycomet GP 500 three times a day.
Despite all this, my sugars fluctuated, and my energy kept dropping.

How FFD Was Introduced
I had watched several of Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s videos online and even followed Dr. B.M. Hegde’s interview where he spoke about holistic healing.
However, I didn’t take action until my yoga teacher suggested that I stop milk and join Freedom From Diabetes.
She said people in her family had reversed their diabetes through FFD.

My Reversal Story
Once I joined the program, I was guided by my assigned doctor and the FFD team. In less than 25 days, my doctor advised me to stop insulin completely and reduced my medication dosage.
Gradually, my sugars stabilised, and within a few months.

The transformation didn’t stop there
- My HbA1c came down to 6.1 from 9.1
- My weight dropped from 86 kg to 69 kg
- The numbness in my legs vanished
- I stopped waking up 2–3 times at night for urination
- My sleep quality improved dramatically, and I now sleep peacefully through the night
- Physically, I felt lighter and stronger. Mentally, I regained my old confidence and enthusiasm.
Under Dr. Malhar Ganla’s guidance, I took up swimming and weight training, which helped tone my muscles and improve flexibility. I even started doing strength exercises and Surya Namaskar regularly.
Athletic Identity
Earlier, I was active but inconsistent. Through FFD, I rediscovered my love for fitness — swimming and strength training became my athletic identity.
I now train regularly, enjoy outdoor activities, and feel far more agile and energetic than I did in my 50s.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection:
FFD completely changed my lifestyle and mindset. I now start my day with a smoothie, follow a plant-based diet, and practice Nitric Oxide Dump (NODs) regularly, a simple yet powerful exercise that Dr. Tripathi teaches.
I also attended TRP (Transformational Residential Program), where Dr. Yunus guided us through deep inner transformation practices.
His teachings to forgive, forget the past, and let go of stress helped me become calmer and more positive.
I also attended a session with an FFD psychologist, who taught me to accept reality and manage expectations. That shifted my entire outlook on life.

As a result, I’m more composed, peaceful, and rarely get irritated or angry now even in situations where I used to lose my temper earlier.
My thyroid medicine has also reduced from 82.5 mg to 25 mg, and I feel fully in control of my health.
Today, I’ve even resumed my real estate business, working 10–12 hours a day with full energy, something I couldn’t imagine before.
FFD has not just made me healthy; it has made me alive again.
