My Diabetes Story
My diabetes journey began nearly two decades ago, in early 2004. The year before, I had tragically lost my first pregnancy at full term.
When I consulted a different doctor afterward, She suspected gestational diabetes might have been the cause.
She advised me to check my blood sugar levels, and the results confirmed it—I had impaired glucose tolerance and an elevated fasting blood sugar level.
Family history-wise, my grandpa, grandma, Mom, and a few aunts and uncles did suffer from this condition.
How was FFD introduced?
I struggled with low energy, poor skin, constant hunger, belly fat, and the stress of trying to reverse diabetes without relying on medication.
I exercised regularly, Researched extensively, And followed advice from experts like Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Fuhrman, which helped normalize my sugars for a while—I even had two healthy kids.
But life’s ups and downs led to relapses. Eventually, my sugars spiraled out of control—fasting levels averaged 240, and PP went over 400 despite regular workouts.
In June 2022, I had a heart attack while vacationing in India. Feeling defeated, I finally gave in and started medication. I had lost hope of reversing diabetes.
What made me choose FFD?
I heard about Dr. Pramod Tripathi from my mom over a year ago. She had attended one of his seminars, started following his tips and videos, and told me her blood sugar levels had improved significantly.
Curious to know more, I Googled Dr. Tripathi and came across the Freedom From Diabetes website. His YouTube videos resonated with me, especially the one on the seven stages of diabetes reversal.
What stood out was his focus on truly healing the body—Not just lowering sugar by cutting food groups. Passing the GTT as a key marker made me trust his approach even more.
Reversal Story
My journey has been amazing! Though I was never overweight, I had stubborn belly fat that reduced with the program. The structured approach and support from the Medical, Diet, and Exercise experts made it easy to follow.
Dr. Tripathi’s fun and inspiring sessions kept me motivated. Gradually, My Meds were stopped.
After 3 FFFs, my waist shrank from 87 cm to 73 cm, and my weight dropped from 56.7 to 52 kg. I now feel energetic, love working out, and feel more toned, happy, and positive overall.
My HbA1c level improved from 8.8 to 6.6.
The Inner Transformation sessions helped me let go of long-held stress, anxiety, and emotional baggage. I now feel calmer, more at peace, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with clarity and presence of mind.
I have chosen the athletic identity of a gymmer. I love working out at the gym trying different weight machines, Different loads, Cardio Equipment, and routines.
I feel great, loving, and enjoying life! Thanks to all the experts.
