A year ago, my diabetes numbers were constantly fluctuating. My HbA1c stayed between 6.5% and 7.5%, medications were becoming a part of daily life, and I was beginning to experience symptoms that worried me.
What started as a simple decision to "give it a try" turned into one of the most important health transformations of my life.
Today, I am medicine-free, have lost 10 kg, brought my HbA1c down to 5.5%, and feel more energetic than I have in years.
This is my Freedom From Diabetes journey.

My Diabetes Story
The sugar levels were constantly oscillating. Sometimes they would come down, and then they would rise again.
Despite taking medication, I never felt that my diabetes was truly under control.
Despite taking medication, I never felt that my diabetes was truly under control.
I was taking a daily dose of 500 mg medication, yet my HbA1c consistently remained between 6.5 and 7.5.
One of the signs I noticed was the appearance of dark boils around my neck, which I later understood could be associated with high sugar levels and insulin resistance.
Apart from that, I often felt tired and sluggish. I would delay tasks throughout the day, not because I lacked capability, but because I lacked energy.
That was becoming my new normal.
How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?
She encouraged me to explore the program and suggested that I give it a try.
I did not overthink it. My mindset was simple: "If it works, great. If it doesn't, at least I tried."
I decided to follow the guidance sincerely and see what happened.
That decision changed everything.

My Reversal Story
After joining FFD, I followed the protocols shared by Dr. Pramod Tripathi, Dr. Malhar Ganla, Dr Vaishali Jadhav, my dietitian Dr. Suganya Nandakumar, and my exercise expert Dr. Nabeena N.
I adopted the smoothie protocol, reduced my food quantity appropriately, and followed the recommended exercise routines.
The results came much faster than I expected.
Within just 20 days, I was advised to stop my diabetes medication. A medicine that I had been taking daily was no longer required.
Three months later, my HbA1c test showed something I had never achieved before.
My HbA1c had dropped to 5.5.
For me, that was a huge milestone. The transformation did not stop there. I also lost 10 kg, losing weight from 78 kg to 68 kg.
My cholesterol profile improved significantly. My thyroid markers also moved in the right direction, reducing from nearly 8 to 4.83.
The biggest change, however, was how I felt every day. The fatigue disappeared. The laziness disappeared.
The tendency to postpone tasks disappeared. I became more energetic, focused, and productive throughout the day.
Athletic Identity
Fitness has always been a part of my life.
In my younger years, I was both an athlete and a bodybuilder. FFD helped me reconnect with that identity.
My current routine includes:
- Regular walking
- Jogging
- Gym workouts
- Surya Namaskar
- Yoga and stretching sessions
I exercise five days a week, dedicate one day to flexibility work, and take one recovery day.
One of my proud achievements has been completing 48 Surya Namaskars in a single session.
For me, movement is no longer a task. It is part of my lifestyle.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I understand something that I did not understand before joining FFD.
It is not just about reducing sugar.
It is about understanding which foods support your body and which foods work against it.
Earlier, I thought all foods were more or less the same.
Today, I make conscious choices. That awareness has helped me maintain my health, manage my weight, and stay energetic throughout the day despite a demanding IT career.
Looking back, becoming medicine-free in just 20 days was incredible.
But the real gift was learning how to take charge of my health for the long term.
