Juggling research-heavy software work with raising my two young kids (aged 10 and 3), I was trapped in a grueling daily schedule from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM. When extreme lethargy, afternoon slumps, and headaches led to tests revealing an HbA1c of 11.0 alongside hypertension, I refused to accept a lifetime of daily pills. Carrying the heavy grief of major personal losses in my family, I turned to Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) to break the cycle of illness, ultimately achieving a complete reversal of both my physical and mental health.

My Diabetes Story

Around March–April 2025, my intense 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM schedule as a research software engineer and father to two kids (aged 10 and 3) became overwhelming.

I lost the energy to play with my children and suffered from severe office slumps, persistent headaches, constant food cravings, excessive hunger, high thirst, and frequent urination.

A doctor's visit revealed an HbA1c of 11.0 and hypertension.

With my father having diabetes and my mother having hypertension, plus carrying the grief of losing my brother in 2003 and my daughter in 2012, I knew I had to break this chronic illness cycle for the next generation.

How I Found FFD

Though prescribed Glycomet 500 mg daily and supplements, I wanted a true cure, not lifelong pills.

Self-study led me to Instagram videos of Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Malhar Sir. Unlike programs offering bookish advice, FFD focused on practical science and complete recovery, leading me to enroll.

My Reversal Journey

Under FFD's guidance, my sugars normalized rapidly:

Medicines: Stopped Glycomet completely within 2–3 months (by February).
HbA1c plummeted from 11.0 to 5.7;
Weight dropped 6 kg (90+ kg to 84 kg).
Cognitive Focus: Reversing diabetes cleared my severe brain fog, restoring the deep concentration required for my research work.

Athletic Identity

Through FFD, I restored my body's lost agility and flexibility by re-engaging with my love for yoga, eventually building up to performing 48 rounds of Surya Namaskars alongside regular anti-gravity exercises.

I also pushed my endurance boundaries by running up to 4 km and building up my cardiovascular strength to climb 16 floors of stairs in a single stretch, recovering completely within just five minutes.

Most importantly, this newfound stamina transformed my daily life at home, allowing me to play continuously with my children for hours without feeling fatigued or exhausted.

Fast For Freedom Experience

FFF was a major breakthrough for me. After an initial 2-day fast, I completed 5 continuous days on my second attempt.

By day three, I experienced autophagy firsthand, feeling a surge of natural energy without needing daily food.

Inner Transformation

FFD's 3 one-on-one psychological sessions with Paramita which helped me heal past trauma from losing my brother and daughter.

Using empathetic listening, dispute techniques, visualization, and journaling, I processed long-held grief, shifting my mindset from pessimism to long-term optimism and resilience.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I live a vibrant, medicine-free life and prepare my own healthy salads and meals.

FFD gave me a sustainable framework for lifelong physical strength, emotional balance, and vitality.
