Hello, I am Avinish Kumar Singh, a 37-year-old, IT professional from Bangalore. My diabetes diagnosis came as a complete shock during the Delta wave of COVID when I was just 33 years old. What started as a routine blood test alongside my wife’s pregnancy-related tests turned into a life-changing moment when I discovered my HbA1c was 10.8.
At that point, I knew I had to act fast. What followed was a complete health transformation through Freedom From Diabetes.
Key Takeaways
- Reduced HbA1c from 10.8 to 5.5 in 5 months
- Lost 8 kg overall in 3 months
- Off Diabetes meds in 2 months
- Cleared GTT successfully
- Completed Fast for Freedom & lost 5 kg

- Improved uric acid and metabolic health
- Built strong discipline with exercise, fasting, and mindset shifts
My Diabetes Story
I discovered my diabetes unexpectedly during the Delta COVID wave in September 2021, when I was 33 years old.
I had gone for blood tests along with my wife, who needed pregnancy-related investigations.
Just casually, I decided to get my own blood work done too.

That report changed everything.
- My HbA1c was 10.8, which came as a huge shock. I had no idea things had escalated so much.
There was a family history of diabetes, but with much later onset:
Grandfather developed diabetes around age 75 Father developed mild diabetes after 60. So developing severe diabetes at just 33 felt alarming.
- I was also experiencing several symptoms:
- Sensitive skin
- Swelling issues
- Frequent urination-related discomfort
- General metabolic imbalance
Deep down, I knew that simply suppressing sugar numbers wasn’t solving the root cause.
How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Join?
Initially, I explored many health systems on my own.
I researched extensively while living alone abroad and experimented with multiple approaches.
I also followed content from Dr. B.M. Hegde was constantly learning about health.
Eventually, I came across Freedom From Diabetes through videos of Dr. Pramod Tripathi and his team.

After watching the educational content and hearing real success stories, I decided to explore FFD seriously and enrolled for the Discover Reversal Session.
At that point, I had already realized one thing clearly: Unless you fix the root cause, diabetes keeps returning.
That mindset made me ready for structured transformation.

Mr. Avinish Kumar SinghMy Reversal Journey with FFD
At diagnosis:
- HbA1c was nearly 10.8
By the time I joined FFD:
- HbA1c had reduced to around 7.5 with medicines
Then came the real breakthrough. Within just 2–3 months of following the FFD protocol my HbA1c dropped to 4.7 without medicines.
Current HbA1c is maintained at 5.5 (while currently focusing on muscle gain). This was one of the biggest milestones of my journey.
I also successfully cleared GTT and completed Fast for Freedom. I have built sustainable metabolic control without medication dependence

Weight Loss & Physical Transformation
Before joining FFD, I was around 79 kg. Within 3 months I reduced to 71.2 kg.
This brought me back to my college weight, overall I lost nearly 8 kg. Later, while intentionally focusing on muscle gain, I stabilized my weight strategically. During Fast for Freedom alone I lost around 5 kg
Other Health Improvements
My reports showed improvements across multiple parameters.
Uric Acid
- Initially: 7.3
- Later reduced to 3.3 (normal)
Thyroid
- TSH reduced from 8.6 to 5.6
Triglycerides
This was initially a challenge for me.
At one point, triglycerides were extremely high, but through disciplined fasting, dietary changes, and consistency, they improved significantly.
Recent triglycerides: 129
All of this happened while minimizing unnecessary medication dependence.
My Athletic Identity
FFD helped me reconnect with physical fitness in a powerful way.
Today, my athletic identity includes:
- Cycling
- Yoga
- Surya Namaskars
- Weight training
- Major milestones achieved:
- Completed 108 Surya Namaskars
- Completed 5-day fasting
- Cycled 50 km
These were things I never imagined I would achieve after my diagnosis.
Inner Transformation & Mental Growth
I had one-on-one sessions with Yati Ma’am, which turned out to be surprisingly insightful.
Some major learnings I gained:
- Depersonalization: Separating criticism of work from criticism of self
- Perspective building: Not letting one setback feel like the end of everything
- Positive memory anchoring: Holding onto positive experiences as long-term energy sources
- These mindset shifts were highly valuable.
I also benefited from:
- Guided meditation
- Goal setting exercises
- Box breathing
- Group learning sessions
- The group sessions gave me practical knowledge around:
- Food labels
- Behavioral habits
- Lifestyle psychology
- Sustainable health systems
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I look at health very differently. For me, FFD was not just about lowering sugar.
It taught me:
- Food discipline
- Exercise systems
- Root-cause thinking
- Mindset mastery
I became deeply involved in learning and implementation.
I took notes, screenshots, attended sessions, and treated this as a complete educational journey.
My Experience with FFD
“It has truly been a life-saving and life-changing educational journey, nothing short of a miracle.
FFD has offered simple, practical solutions that address some of the core root causes of diabetes.
