I’m Natin Jain, a working professional from Noida. After living with diabetes for over 14 years, I never imagined I could take control of my health the way I have today. Thanks to Freedom From Diabetes, I’ve experienced a powerful shift physically and mentally and I’m excited to share my story with you.
Key Takeaways

- Lost 14–15 kg (from 82 kg to ~67–68 kg)
- No longer on cholesterol medication
- Hypertension under control
My Diabetes Story
My diabetes journey began when I visited the doctor for unexplained shoulder pain. It wasn’t a frozen shoulder, just some discomfort that led to a round of blood tests and that’s when I found out my sugar levels were high. I had no symptoms, no family history, and wasn’t on any long-term medication for cholesterol or BP at the time.
Later, gallstones were also detected, but those came after the diabetes diagnosis. I did have some stress-related hypertension, but nothing alarming.
I was overweight, something that had always been the case since childhood but I never struggled with stamina or mobility.

How FFD Entered My Life
I first heard about FFD from someone who had completed the program and benefited from it. Honestly, I wasn’t too keen initially; it was more due to family encouragement that I finally joined.
At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But looking back, that one step was a game-changer.

Reversal Story
Before FFD, I weighed around 82 kg and didn’t have a structured exercise routine. After joining the program and following the guidance sincerely, I lost nearly 14 kg. My weight now fluctuates between 67 and 68 kg. My energy levels have gone up, and I feel a lot lighter overall.
The most remarkable part? My HbA1c dropped from 12.9 to 7.3. That’s a huge shift for someone who had been diabetic for so long.
Exercise & Daily Routine
Previously, my only activity was a 30–35 minute morning walk. Since joining FFD, I’ve added proper exercise to my routine 30–40 minutes in the morning and again in the evening, And mostly doing FFD-guided workouts at home.
Despite a tight work schedule (I leave home at 7 AM and return by 7 PM), I make time to stay active.
I haven’t discovered my athletic identity yet, but I’m working on it.
Mental Wellness & Inner Transformation
While I haven’t joined Inner Transformation sessions or taken up meditation yet due to time constraints, I’ve made a strong start on the physical side of the journey. I know there's more to explore, especially in managing stress better, and I hope to gradually incorporate that too.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, my health has significantly improved. I’ve stopped cholesterol medication, and my BP stays in check. My sugar levels are better, and my energy has returned. It’s a huge win considering how hectic and stressful life can get.
