Hello, I’m Priya
I’m an IT professional, a mom of two, and someone who once struggled with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Today, I’m 19 kilos lighter, emotionally balanced, and have successfully reversed pre-diabetes with Freedom from Diabetes. Here’s how my transformation began with awareness, action, and the right support.
Key Takeaways
- HbA1c reduced from 5.8 to 5.1
- Weight dropped from 81 kg to 62 kg
- Cleared GTT and reversed pre-diabetes
- Built a consistent gym routine
- Created SAF and Vision Boards for clarity and purpose
My Health Journey: A Wake-up Call
My health transformation began not with my diagnosis, but my mother’s. She developed treatment-induced diabetes while fighting cancer.
Watching her health challenges pushed me to reflect on my own lifestyle, years of obesity, sitting for hours as an IT consultant, and feeling constantly drained.
When I finally got tested, my HbA1c was 5.8 pre-diabetic.
Rather than wait for it to worsen, I made a life-changing decision: I joined FFD’s Holistic Transformation Program (HTP).
My Goals with FFD
I didn’t join just to reduce sugar levels. I joined for a complete lifestyle reset. I had just delivered my second child and was determined to reclaim my health, stamina, and identity. FFD gave me that opportunity.
The Struggle Before FFD
For nearly 10 years, I had tried to lose weight. I hovered between 77–83 kg, but despite all efforts, nothing worked. I tried different diets, routines, and health tips, but the results never lasted.

The Shift with FFD
Under FFD’s structured guidance:
- My HbA1c dropped to 5.1
- I lost 19 kg, going from 81 kg to 62 kg
- I cleared my GTT, confirming metabolic recovery
- I now feel lighter, more energetic, and emotionally balanced
Dietary Transformation
- I made key changes that made a big impact:
- Completely gave up milk (I used to have 3–4 cups of milk coffee a day!)
- Occasional paneer or curd, but not part of regular meals
- Balanced macronutrients consciously (carbs, proteins, fats, and fiber)
- The awareness and planning made all the difference.
Building a Fitness Routine
- I had never been a gym person. But now:
- I go to the gym regularly
- I plan to start yoga to improve flexibility
- I can walk and move without exhaustion something I couldn’t do earlier
- I’m also exploring different formats to discover my athletic identity in the months ahead.
Inner Transformation
FFD’s Inner Transformation (IT) sessions played a powerful role in my emotional healing. With the stress of my mother’s illness, I needed mental stability and FFD gave me just that.
- I created my SAF Board (Self-Awareness Framework)
- Built a Vision Board for goal clarity
- Meditation is now a daily habit
- Journaling is occasional but helpful when done
- These practices helped me regain emotional strength and a sense of control.
Support System at FFD
I’m incredibly thankful for the team that guided me:
- Dietitian: Durga Bhagaje
- Exercise Expert: Saili Kale
- Inner Transformation Expert: Udita
Each of them helped me in their own way, making me feel supported, understood, and capable.
Reflection on Awareness & Action
I believe awareness is everything. We often ignore subtle signs until it’s too late. Even pre-diabetes is dangerous if left unchecked. FFD taught me that early action, when paired with the right tools, can change your life.
