My Diabetes Story
I first noticed signs of diabetes in 2007-2008—Weakness, Weight loss, and Sugar Cravings led to a diagnosis. Despite a family history, I managed it through exercise and diet, keeping my HbA1c below 7 for years. But after nearly two decades, My sugar levels rose, I developed hypertension, and my doctor warned of inevitable complications, which deeply concerned me.
How was FFD introduced and why did I choose to join it?
I came across an advertisement for a Freedom from Diabetes seminar. Intrigued by the idea that diabetes could be reversed, I decided to attend. Encouraged by what I learned, My daughter and I joined the program together, Taking the first step toward transforming our health.

Reversal Story
As I followed the FFD program, My HbA1c dropped from 7.7 to 6.8, And I felt more in control of my body and routine. I learned how different foods affected my sugar levels and gained clarity in managing them. My family joined me too—My husband’s HbA1c dropped to 4.8, and my daughter’s stabilized at 5.4.
One major challenge was weight loss—I went from 54 kg to 46 kg. With dietary tweaks, I’ve regained up to 50 kg and am now working on building muscle before returning to swimming and cycling. My fitness routine shifted from cardio to strength training on my trainer’s advice.
I was always on minimal medication—Just two tablets a day—But due to occasional spikes, My doctor added a third. I hope to reduce this slowly. I also focus on mental health through Pranayama, Journaling, and Stress-Busting techniques like air punching.
Udita, Inner Transformation Expert, from FFD, has been a wonderful guide— Her advice to eliminate negativity and focus on self-care has stayed with me. This journey has transformed my outlook.
