Hello all,

I'm Gayathri Natesh, an HRIT professional who is retired and has worked in companies like Cadence, World Bank and Honeywell in their HR services Department.

My diabetes story

A routine office health checkup brought to light the fact that I had borderline high sugar levels. Following this discovery, my doctor recommended that I incorporate regular walking into my routine to manage these sugar levels.

However, as time went on, my situation changed when I relocated to Chennai and found myself in a demanding job that necessitated the use of medications to control my blood sugar.

Exploring my family history, I noted that my father had consistently maintained borderline diabetes, and my sister also grappled with this condition. 

A critical turning point occurred when I underwent a hysterectomy surgery that required a blood transfusion and led to the introduction of insulin in my treatment plan.

My sedentary lifestyle, combined with personal and professional stress, further complicated my health. When my HbA1c levels reached a distressing high of 13, I decided that it was time to prioritize my health and make significant changes.

Some time later, I experienced a back injury that significantly disrupted my exercise routine.

How was FFD introduced?

I owe my introduction to FFD to my sister. She, along with one of my cousins, strongly encouraged me to become a part of the FFD program. Their conviction and support were instrumental in my decision to join, and it turned out to be a pivotal moment in my health journey.

What made me choose FFD?

I never liked being on medicines. FFD was offering hope. Dr. Pramod Tripathi's assurance in his introductory webinar added to my confidence and I finally joined FFD's type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP.

Reversal story

FFD has an excellent team indeed. As soon as I entered the program, my case was meticulously studied. They considered all factors, including my back injury, and devised a tailored treatment plan.

The incredible part is that my insulin requirements stopped within just 2.5-3 months, which I find absolutely fantastic. Even though I'm still on diabetes medications, the dosage has significantly decreased.

My HbA1c levels improved from 9 to 7, which is a remarkable achievement. I've experienced remarkable weight loss, shedding 16 kilograms, and now my clothes are loose.

I can confidently say I've overcome all the challenges that obesity used to bring. I've even restarted my music classes and am extremely pleased with my progress.

All the members of my FFD team, including my doctor, Dr. Aparna Mudholkar, diet expert Husna Begum, exercise expert Dr. Nabeena N, and inner transformation experts Paromita and Yati Shah, my mentor Mrs. Hema Neelakantan, have been wonderful supporters on my journey.
