My Diabetes Story
I work in the IT sector, and during a routine health check-up in April 2022, I was shocked to learn I had diabetes. With both parents diabetic, I knew I was at risk, but the diagnosis still hit hard.
I did not want to start lifelong medication so early. Determined to take control, I found a natural, sustainable way to reverse it.
How was FFD introduced, and what made me choose it?
I discovered Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) through Facebook and Instagram, and what instantly resonated with me was the promise of reversing diabetes naturally, without being chained to lifelong medication.
Having watched my parents depend on tablets for years, I knew I didn’t want to walk the same path. That’s when I decided to join FFD's HTP program.
Reversal Story
The FFD team performed a detailed study of my case and designed out a tailor-made plan.
Believe it or not, within just 15 to a month of joining FFD, I was completely off all medications! My HbA1c, Once dangerously high—over 10—dropped to 5.5. And it all happened through structured dietary changes and simple daily exercises.
Though I couldn’t attend every Inner Transformation session due to work, the few I did attend left a lasting impact. I started incorporating daily yoga and even just 5–10 minutes of meditation.
These small changes helped me manage mood swings, stay focused, and feel emotionally grounded. Earlier, I lived with a constant fear—“What if something goes wrong? What if my sugar shoots up?”
Now, even if I indulge at an office party or enjoy the occasional sweet, I know exactly how to balance it out the next day.
That confidence has come from the collective wisdom of the FFD team—dietitians, doctors, and exercise coaches.
This new sense of control has made me more energetic, more alive. I have even discovered a passion for trekking! This year alone, I have trekked every month—Kumara Parvata, Chandragiri, and more on the horizon.
Weight Loss Journey
I used to weigh around 69–70 kg. Today, I’m at 58–59 kg and aiming to shed another 2–3 kg. My biggest challenges were stress-driven binge eating and late-night snacking.
While I was always physically active, My diet was completely off. FFD helped align everything—mind, body, and food.
I had never signed up for any other program or diet before this. Nothing felt holistic or trustworthy enough. For me, the goal wasn’t just weight loss—it was about regaining my health and living free of medicines.
Athletic Identity
In this journey, I have also rediscovered something I truly love—swimming. It’s become my go-to activity, and I try to swim at least once a week. It brings me joy and has become an integral part of my lifestyle.
FFD has transformed my life—from living in fear and dependency to living with freedom and awareness. I no longer feel trapped by medications or anxiety. Instead, I live with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
