My Diabetes Story
My diabetes diagnosis came at a very unexpected time. It was during my brother’s wedding in Lucknow, when I was living in Kolkata.
I noticed that even small tasks like distributing invitation cards or running errands were draining my energy completely.

After returning to Kolkata, I went for a blood test, and that’s when I was diagnosed with very high blood sugar levels.
From that point onward, my life slowly became dominated by medicines and medical consultations.
I was prescribed Metformin and several other medications, but I never felt comfortable taking them. Every time I consumed the medicine, I would feel exhausted for hours.
I also experienced tingling sensations in my legs and body, which made daily life difficult.

Despite trying different approaches like walking regularly, modifying my diet, and even experimenting with non-grain diets, nothing seemed to give me lasting relief.
Over time, my condition worsened and insulin was introduced, reaching nearly 34–36 units daily.

At one point, I was taking around 14 different medicines, and my monthly medical expenses had reached nearly ₹12,000.
How I Found Freedom From Diabetes
By March of last year, my endocrinologist warned me that if my condition did not improve, he would have to put me on a second insulin shot daily.
That moment made me pause.
Traveling with insulin had already become difficult, and my overall health was deteriorating. I also started facing breathing problems and severe fatigue, which made even basic physical activity difficult.
Around that time, I came across short video clips of Dr. Pramod Tripathi on LinkedIn. I tried to connect directly, but instead I discovered the Freedom From Diabetes program.
By July, I decided to join FFD, hoping to finally find a real solution instead of adding more medicines.

My Reversal Journey
When I joined the program, my health was in very poor condition. I was on insulin, multiple medications, and struggling with energy and breathing issues.
But with the guidance of the FFD doctors, nutritionists, and experts, things began to change quickly.
Within just one month, I was able to completely stop insulin.
Over the next three months, my diabetes medicines were gradually reduced. Today, for more than a month now, I have been completely medicine-free. I have reduced my HbA1c from 7.5 to 6.9.
Along with this, my liver markers like SGOT improved, inflammation reduced, and my body started responding better to food and activity.
I also lost significant weight from around 102.5 kg to about 83 kg. The best part is that the weight loss has been steady and sustainable, not sudden.
Athletic Identity
For many years, my health issues had taken away my ability to stay active.
But as my weight reduced and breathing improved, I slowly began rediscovering physical activity.
Recently, I completed a 6 km cycling session within 20–25 minutes, something I would not have imagined earlier.

On the same day, I even went for a 5 km walk with my wife.
These small milestones remind me that my body is gradually becoming stronger again.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I feel more energetic, mentally clear, and willing to engage with life again.
Before joining FFD, even stepping outside felt like a burden. Now I feel motivated to move, work, and stay active.
One of the most important realizations from this journey is that diabetes is often deeply connected to lifestyle, inflammation, and metabolic health. Once those underlying factors improve, the body begins healing naturally.
What also makes me proud is that my transformation is now inspiring others.
Doctors at a medical institution in Delhi even introduced me to patients so that I could share my experience and encourage them to explore lifestyle-based reversal.
