My Diabetes Story
Diabetes runs in my family, as my mother also had the condition.
Although I did not experience any major symptoms initially, I knew I had to take my health seriously before it worsened.

Managing diabetes while working as an Accounting Assistant Manager wasn't easy.
My work often demanded long hours, especially during the financial year-end and balance sheet periods.
There were days when I would work late into the night, making it difficult to follow a proper diet or routine.

Gradually, I realized that my health was being compromised because of my work schedule.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
I first heard about Freedom From Diabetes through my sister-in-law, Anjani Sharma, who had already joined the program.
Watching her progress gave me confidence that lifestyle changes could genuinely improve diabetes.
Her results encouraged me to take the first step and enroll in the Discover Reversal Session myself.

At that point, I wanted structured guidance that could help me improve my health instead of simply continuing with the same routine.
Reversal Journey
When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was 8.4.
With the support of the doctors, dietitians, and experts, I gradually improved my food choices and adopted healthier habits.
My HbA1c eventually came down to 6.4, and one of the biggest changes was my 10 kg weight loss.

My blood reports also reflected improvements beyond sugar levels.
My hs-CRP, an important marker of inflammation, reduced significantly from 13.4 to 5.24, showing that my overall metabolic health was improving as well.

Like many working professionals, maintaining consistency wasn't always easy.
During the last few months, work became particularly hectic because of the balance sheet season, and I often had to work late into the night.
Naturally, this affected my routine and made it harder to follow every recommendation perfectly.

Although I haven't yet participated in the Fast for Freedom program or attended psychology sessions, I continue to focus on maintaining healthier eating habits and staying active.
The journey is still ongoing, but every improvement motivates me to continue.
Athletic Identity
I keep myself active through regular walking, which has become an important part of my daily routine.
Even though I haven't adopted a specific athletic activity yet, staying physically active helps me remain consistent with my health goals.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
One thing I truly appreciate about Freedom From Diabetes is the continuous guidance and follow-up provided by the entire team.
Every person's body responds differently, and I have realized that consistency is more important than perfection.
While some aspects of the program suited me more than others, the expert support helped me understand what works best for my body.
