My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed around 8–10 years ago during a routine health check-up.
There were no major symptoms initially, except some tingling and numbness in my feet.
There were no major symptoms initially, except some tingling and numbness in my feet.
There is a family history; my mother had diabetes so somewhere I knew I was at risk.
Over time, my fasting sugars were hovering around 150–160, and my HbA1c was 7.5 despite being on medication.
I was taking Metformin (50/1000) twice daily, along with two or three additional medicines.

Weight had gone up to around 95 kg, mainly due to lifestyle and lack of structured exercise.
How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Join?
A close friend of mine, a doctor in the Indian Navy, recommended the program. He had researched it and seen results in his own family.
I attended the DRS session, and what impressed me most was that the approach was scientific and methodical.
There was clear reasoning behind every recommendation.

I joined immediately.
My Reversal Story
Within the first two weeks of starting my journey, my diabetes medicines were reduced to half.
By the end of the first month, I was completely off all diabetes medications.
My sugar levels steadily improved, with my HbA1c dropping from 7.5 to 5.8 and this transformation happened without any medicines.
My fasting sugars also stabilized around near-normal levels, giving me consistent and reliable control.

My fasting sugars also stabilized around near-normal levels, giving me consistent and reliable control.
Alongside better sugar control, my weight reduced significantly.
I started at 95 kg and gradually brought it down to around 75 kg, with my lowest weight reaching 73.5 kg a total loss of nearly 20–22 kg.
During the 9-day Fast for Freedom, I lost about 2–3 kg, but the bigger transformation came through steady, disciplined consistency over time.

Lifestyle Shifts That Made the Difference
I gradually shifted to a mostly vegan diet, significantly reducing my carbohydrate intake while increasing vegetables, dals, and plant-based protein sources.
I began consistently practicing the 25-25 protocol and incorporated weekly juice fasting every Sunday, along with regular green smoothies as part of my routine.

Interestingly, after eliminating dairy from my diet, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall respiratory health.
My sinus congestion reduced significantly, I experienced much less phlegm during winters, and my breathing felt clearer and easier than before.

Exercise
Earlier, my physical activity was limited to just walking.
Now, my routine has evolved to include strength training, core exercises, yoga, anti-gravity exercises, and regular gym workouts.
I began with Chair Surya Namaskar and gradually built my stamina and confidence to perform 24 Surya Namaskars in one go.
At 62, I consciously choose a steady and sustainable approach instead of pushing myself aggressively but I remain deeply consistent with my routine.

- Kidney & Other Markers
- Microalbumin, which was slightly elevated earlier, has now normalized.
- Uric acid is under control with monitoring.
- Sleep quality has improved significantly.
- Overall inflammation feels lower, and energy levels are higher.
Inner Transformation
I must admit I have focused more on body transformation so far.
The meditation and one-on-one mind sessions are something I still need to explore more deeply.

But even without fully doing the inner work, the physical changes alone have been remarkable.
Current Reflection
At 62, losing 20+ kgs and becoming medicine-free feels like getting a second chance.
Many of my friends now ask what I did.
I simply tell them: “Attend the DRS session first. Understand the science.”

This journey has shown me that age is not a limitation, lifestyle is.
