Hello, I’m Mayank Mehta from Gurgaon. After spending 21 years on diabetes medication, I finally broke free thanks to Freedom from Diabetes. This is the story of how I got off medicine, regained energy, and now live healthier than ever in my 70s.
Key Takeaways
- Off diabetes medication in 3 months
- HbA1c reduced from 7.1% to 6.1%
- Cholesterol medicine reduced to alternate-day dosage
My Diabetes Story
Back in 2004, during a routine hotel-organized medical check-up, I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had no symptoms, no tiredness, no thirst, no warning signs.
But the reports were clear, and I was immediately put on 500 mg diabetes medicine daily.
Despite no family history of diabetes, I accepted the diagnosis and continued with medicines for over 19 years.
How FFD Entered My Life
My wife discovered a video by Dr. Pramod Tripathi and shared it with me. I was instantly drawn to FFD’s holistic and scientific approach. In July 2024, I joined FFD and decided to give it my full commitment.
Reversal Story
Within 3 months, my blood sugar had stabilized so well that I was advised to stop my diabetes medication. After two decades of tablets, this was a powerful milestone.
HbA1c Progress:
- Highest recorded: 7.1%
- At joining: 6.9%
- Latest: 6.1% (fluctuating between 6.1%–6.5%)
Cholesterol: I was on regular medication. Now, I take it only on alternate days. I’m hopeful of stopping it completely after my upcoming test in August 2025.
Weight Management
Since I’ve always been naturally lean, I initially lost 4 kg, which didn’t feel right to me. I spoke to my dietician, and we made adjustments.
I’ve already regained 1 kg and am now working toward gaining strength and balance, not just weight.
Current Lifestyle & Fitness
- I’ll be turning 70 next Year, but I stay active through:
- Daily yoga and pranayama
- Stretching exercises
- Gentle strength-building movements
- Mindful breathing and body awareness
Athletic Identity
My athletic identity is a blend of yoga and stretching simple yet effective for my age and lifestyle.
Inner Transformation Experience
I watch the recorded IT videos and appreciate the deeper perspective they offer. My coach Udita Ma’am has helped me connect with the emotional side of healing.
While I don’t meditate regularly, pranayama helps me stay centered and calm.
Reflections & Gratitude
I am deeply grateful to my wife for introducing me to FFD and to Dr. Tripathi and the entire team for guiding me so well.
This journey has brought me confidence, vitality, and balanced things I hadn’t felt for years.
