Hello all,

I'm Savita Ravindra Borde a housewife from Aurangabad.

My diabetes story

It's heartwarming to share my journey with you.  As I approach my sixties, my battle with diabetes began in 2015 when I was diagnosed with the condition.

I started my diabetes management with Glycomet 500 twice a day.  Seeking guidance, I turned to Dr. Tripathi's YouTube channel and followed his instructions, incorporating smoothies into my routine, which eventually helped me go medicine-free for two years.

However, in 2017, my family faced challenging times, and emotional trauma took its toll on me for the next 2 to 2.5 years. The stress led to a resurgence of diabetes, but this time, it wasn't alone. It brought high blood pressure as an unwanted companion.

As I tried to cope with these new challenges, another devastating shock struck me – I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I felt utterly shattered, fearing the impact on my future life.

Those feelings are indescribable. But amid this turmoil, I decided to make the most of my life and fulfill the dreams I had yet to achieve. During this period, I pursued my LLB, and recently, I appeared for the final semester exam of my LLM.

It has been a dream come true, and achieving this milestone has brought a sense of fulfillment and hope, pushing me forward with determination to face life's uncertainties with courage and resilience.

What made me choose FFD?

I never liked being on medicines. With FFD, I saw a hope of going free of medicines. The introductory webinar by Dr. Pramod Tripathi added to my confidence and I enrolled in Freedom from Diabetes type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP immediately.

My Reversal story

I joined Dr Tripathi's FFD in January 2023. Within two months, I got free of medicine for diabetes.

I remember and very much like one of the statements made by Dr. Malhar Ganla in a lecture. He said, "Don't think about your sugar levels or weight, just keep on doing exercise."

My HbA1c was 6.7 at the time of joining and now it is 5.7.

I lost 5-6 kg of weight too which was good.

It fills my heart with joy and pride to share my recent accomplishments with you. I joined Bharatnatyam dance classes under the guidance of Guru Haripriya, and it has been an incredible journey of growth and self-expression.

I had the opportunity to perform in Kashi, and now I am gearing up for a performance in Rameshwaram in August.

Reflecting on my past adventures, I reminisced about the treks I have undertaken. I have conquered challenging treks like Biyaskund and Hemkund Sahib, which have altitudes of 12,772 ft and 13,630 ft, respectively.

These achievements have instilled a newfound confidence in me, despite facing the challenges of Parkinson's.

To maintain my physical fitness and flexibility, I incorporate daily routines of Surya Namaskar and various asanas. For muscle building, I diligently follow a weight training regimen every day. I have made it a practice to climb stairs up to the 8th floor at least once a day, which not only boosts my physical health but also serves as a testament to my determination and willpower.

Presently, I am also preparing for the GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) to further monitor and manage my health. Despite facing the struggles of Parkinson's, my commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and achieving new milestones remains unwavering.

I would like to suggest everyone be conscious about their health because nobody will help you. You have to stand on your own. I have decided to follow the lifestyle suggested by Dr. Tripathi and Dr. Ganla. Thanks to all the FFD team members.
