My Diabetes Story
About 8 to 10 years ago, I started noticing some strange symptoms—my mouth was always dry,
I was constantly rushing to the bathroom, I felt tired all the time, and I began losing weight without any reason.
Then came the boils. Deep down, I knew something wasn’t right.
When I finally went to the doctor, I was diagnosed with diabetes. It came as a shock—there was no family history.
My father had high blood pressure, but no diabetes. Still, my sugar levels just kept climbing.
Doctors prescribed three tablets a day, but nothing seemed to work. My fasting sugar stayed above 170 mg/dL, and after meals, it went over 200.
Once, my HbA1c even shot up to 12%. I tried bitter gourd juice, all kinds of home remedies—whatever anyone suggested.
But no matter what I did, my sugar levels wouldn’t come under control. It was frustrating and scary.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
I had come across FFD videos before, but I never really took any action. Then one day, something clicked.
A colleague of mine, Mr. Rohit Shanker, shared his inspiring story of how he reversed his diabetes with FFD. That gave me the push I needed.
I decided to attend the Diabetes Reversal Session (DRS) again—but this time, I was truly ready to make a change.
Around that time, my vision had started to blur. It was a scary moment and a clear wake-up call. I knew I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life on medicines. I wanted to get better—not just manage my diabetes, but actually reverse it.

Reversal Story
After joining FFD, the transformation was quick and incredible. Within the first month:
- I stopped all diabetes medicines.
- My weight dropped steadily from 80.6 kg to 69 kg.
- My HbA1c normalized something I hadn’t imagined possible
.
The structured protocols, smoothies, salads, millet meals, seed mixes, proportioning plate, gravity exercises, post-meal walksworked wonders.
I also participated in Phase 1, Phase 2.1, Phase 2.2, and completed the FFF5 challenge, where I lost an additional 2 kg.
Athletic Identity
As part of my fitness journey, I took up running—and in March, I proudly completed a 10 km marathon in just 63 minutes!
I went on to do long-distance runs 7–8 times, each covering around 10 to 12 km. It felt amazing to push my limits.
But after a while, I started experiencing some knee pain. So, I made a smart switch—I moved to strength training at the gym and started using the treadmill instead.
Running is still close to my heart, and I plan to get back to it once the weather cools down.
At the same time, I began building my yoga practice. I slowly increased the number of Surya Namaskars I could do, and now, once a week, I complete 108 in one go.
It’s become a weekly ritual that leaves me energized and proud.
Inner Transformation
I attended some Inner Transformation sessions but couldn’t be regular.
Still, I learned one powerful lesson:
“Stress is a major contributor to diabetes. We underestimate it.”
I started journaling occasionally and became more aware of how emotions impact health.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
- Today, I walk confidently into life with:
- No medicines
- No fear of disease, and hospitalization
- Clean blood reports
- Daily gym routines
- Balanced meals
- Greater energy and freedom
That moment when a chemist asked me why I hadn’t bought any medicines recently, that’s when it hit me: “I’ve actually reversed it. This is real.” “For me, being with FFD has felt like stepping into a time machine.
It’s as if my health and fitness have gone back to a much better version of the past. This journey has been nothing short of emotional. At first, I was amazed.
Then came the relief of letting go of the constant fear of poor health. Over time, I started feeling real joy and a boost in confidence that I hadn’t felt in years.
