My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed with diabetes after a medical check-up while I was in Sangamner for work-related commitments.
I wasn’t feeling well. There was constant tiredness and uneasiness but I hadn’t connected it to diabetes until the tests confirmed it.

At the time of diagnosis, my HbA1c was around 8.9, and I was placed on multiple diabetes medications.
I was taking Glycomet SR 500 mg, initially twice a day and later three times a day.
Despite the medicines, my health felt unstable, and I knew something needed to change.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?
I came to know about Freedom From Diabetes through doctors associated with the program, including Dr. Gopinath, Dr. Saray, and Dr. Pramod Tripathi.
After meeting the doctors and understanding the approach, I decided to join without delay.
