My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes during a routine health check-up. There were no major symptoms in the beginning, except for some drowsiness and mild tiredness.

Both my parents have diabetes, so I knew I was at risk. But even then, my main challenge was always controlling my sugar levels.

Over the years, I relied on medication, but my fasting sugar still remained around 160–170 at times.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

 

I came to know about Freedom From Diabetes through social media. I used to follow their content and understand more about diabetes and its root cause.

Compared to other options, I felt this approach was genuine. That’s what made me join the program.

My Reversal Story

When I joined the program, my HbA1c was around 10, which was quite high.

With the structured guidance from doctors, dietitians, and the overall program, my sugar levels started improving.

Within a few months, my HbA1c came down to around 6.4, and I was even able to stop my medications for some time.

My weight also reduced from around 74 kg to 69 kg in 3 months 

However, from January onwards, due to professional commitments, I couldn’t follow the protocol properly diet, exercise, and routine all got disturbed.

Because of that, my sugar levels increased again, and my HbA1c went up to around 8.2.

I had to restart medication, and currently, I am taking regular tablets again.

But this journey has taught me something very important; when I followed the system properly, it worked.

Now, I am focused on getting back on track and regaining control again.

Athletic Identity

To stay active, I have started strength training with the help of a gym trainer.

Along with that, I have also tried fasting practices like juice fasting and water fasting for up to 2 days. Initially, it was difficult, but with practice, my body started adapting.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

This journey has been a learning experience for me.

I have understood the importance of consistency.

When I followed the protocol, I saw real results not just in numbers but also in confidence and motivation.

Even though I had a setback, I now know that it is possible to bring my sugar levels under control again.

FFD helped me realize that being healthy is in my hands, but it requires discipline and consistency.
