What inspired me to join FFD?

I tried various other programs which did not work. FFD came at the right time, as I desperately wanted to get rid of insulin.

Introduction 

Hi
I am Subhaprasoona, from Hyderabad, and settled in Pune. I am a homemaker with a loving family. My father has been a diabetic since his 24th year and is on insulin.
My paternal grandmother and maternal grandparents are diabetic too but it happened in their later years, around their 50s.

Diabetes discovery and difficulties

Around 2011, I randomly checked with a glucometer if it was working properly as it showed my mother-in-law's BSL was very high.

I was a non-diabetic, but surprisingly it showed a little boarded side like 130+. Reached the doctor and got confirmed that I am pre-diabetic and with food and exercise have to control or else have to take medicine.

For 3 years, I tried food and exercise but with the stress of health issues in the family and not being able to concentrate on my health, home, and all that was happening in life, I was started on basic medicine with the doctor's suggestion.

By the end of 2021, there came a stage where had to take high medicines like Istamet 50/500 along with insulin. Still, sugar could not be controlled.

Eventually, my BP was also affected and had to add tablets for that too. Though I tried some home remedies and followed some dieticians and some VRK diet etc., they helped for the short term but not much.

How did I get to know about FFD?

During the lockdown, my husband and daughter got COVID, though mild and recovered well, sugars got affected and insulin was introduced.

My husband and I both are diabetic. Randomly, he came across the FFD program and a link to attend the program from some health app. We thought of attending it and after attending let's give it a try. 

The thought was, there was nothing to lose. If it works, it's good. Plus it turned out to be the right time for me as insulin was not suiting me. Had rashes, hormonal changes, overweight, etc...

FFD journey

The journey of FFD was fun. Experimenting with new food which I never thought would be tasty too was great. Did juice feasting, antigravity exercise, and water fasting.
Never thought in my life that I could be fasting being a diabetic, but was able to fast for 48 hours.

I got rid of insulin and heavy doses of tablets with the FFD doctor's help. Dr.Manasi Manish Jambavalikar, diet expert Dr. Sharvani M, exercise expert Nabeena N madam, and my mentor, who are very supportive and understanding helped me in every step of this journey.

Right now, I am on only one mild medicine. Hoping to remove that too soon. 

Impression

I am happy to get rid of insulin. This program is helping me and my husband to understand what is happening and how to control and reverse diabetes. Kudos to Dr. Tripathi and his team to bring this program.

Once again, thanks for the support.
