My Diabetes Story
I discovered I had diabetes during a routine check-up — My HbA1c was between 6.7 and 6.9. With both my parents diabetic, it wasn’t a total shock,
But the symptoms were worrying: evening dizziness, Constant fatigue, and blurred vision that even made reading difficult. My physical and mental performance had declined.
Though doctors prescribed Udapa tablets, I wasn’t satisfied with just managing diabetes—I wanted to reverse it completely.
How was FFD introduced, and what made me join it?
My search to completely reverse my diabetes led me to Freedom from Diabetes. It was offering hope, so I enrolled in its annual program, HTP.

Reversal Story
With Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s guidance, I began my structured journey toward better health. In just three months, I was off all diabetes medications.
My HbA1c dropped from 8.6 in March 2024 to as low as 5.7–5.9, and though it later rose to 6.3 due to festive eating and travel, I have remained medicine-free.
My weight dropped from 93.5 kg to 79 kg, later stabilizing around 82–83 kg. Poor food habits had caused my weight gain.
But through FFD, I learned portion control and embraced healthy, home-cooked meals. Fasting was tough initially, But I adapted and saw great results.
Though I didn’t attend inner transformation sessions, Regular yoga and meditation (3–4 times a week) brought me mental peace and clarity.
Switching from a full-time job to consulting also improved my work-life balance. Today, I feel far better than I did a year ago.
My biggest win has been breaking free from medication. I am still preparing for the GTT and remain committed to my routine.
While I have not yet defined my athletic identity, I stay active with yoga and continue building toward future fitness goals.
Thanks to all the experts for their invaluable guidance and support in my journey.
