My Diabetes Story

My journey started with gestational diabetes during both pregnancies.

Even though my sugar levels were normal for years after that, I was diagnosed with diabetes in my early 40s when my sugar levels suddenly touched 300.

With a strong family history, both my parents being severely diabetic I knew the risks were high.

Over time, I also started experiencing mild diabetic neuropathy in my legs.

Though I managed my condition with medicines, weight gain especially after menopause became a major challenge and started affecting my ability to stay active.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I came across FFD through Instagram. At that point, my biggest concern wasn’t stopping medicines, it was my increasing weight and the difficulty in exercising.

I felt stuck in a cycle: weight gain made exercise harder, and lack of exercise made things worse. I knew I had to break this cycle, and that’s when I decided to join the program.

My Reversal Story

When I joined, my HbA1c had gone up to 6.7 despite being on medication, and my weight was around 81 kg.

I followed the program very strictly from day one and the results were unbelievable. Within just 10 days, I was able to completely stop my diabetes medications.

Over the next several months, I lost around 12 kg, bringing my weight down to 69 kg.

My energy levels improved, and even the neuropathy I used to feel in my legs completely disappeared.

One of my biggest milestones was clearing the GTT test, something I had always hoped for but never thought would happen after so many years of diabetes.

The moment I saw my results, it was pure joy and disbelief.

Athletic Identity

Fitness has now become an integral part of my life.

I regularly practice yoga, calisthenics, and Zumba. I also took on the challenge of completing 108 Surya Namaskars every month and have been consistently achieving it.

Additionally, I’ve started enjoying small hikes, something that once felt difficult.

Fasting Experience

I also explored fasting as part of my journey.

I successfully completed the 9-day fasting challenge once, which gave me a strong sense of mental control and improved energy levels.

It helped me overcome cravings and build discipline around food, something that has stayed with me even today.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel more energetic, in control, and mentally stronger than ever before.

One of the biggest changes is my relationship with food. Earlier, I had a strong sweet tooth, but now I can easily make conscious choices without feeling deprived.

This journey has not just transformed my body, it has reshaped my mindset, discipline, and confidence.
