Hello all,

 

I am Dr. Medha Vaze, A Surgeon by profession.

 

The year 2009 tests showed I had developed diabetes. Since there is a family history of this condition, I have been keeping track of my blood sugar levels for quite some time. When I found that my fasting sugars were rising, I began taking medicines. Over the years, I took various medicines for diabetes.

Though I didn’t face complications directly related to diabetes, the side effects of the medicines, such as gastritis, acidity, and tummy issues, became a concern. I had also lost a significant amount of weight due to the medicines, almost 12 kg over time.

The situation was getting increasingly difficult for me, prompting me to look for an alternative solution. I had previously joined another diabetes reversal program for about a year and a half, but it didn’t show any significant results.

 

It was through my husband’s suggestion and a recommendation from an acquaintance that I learned about Freedom from Diabetes (FFD).  Inspired by the success story of someone who had become medicine-free after joining FFD, I decided to give it a try. I joined the HTP program after attending an introductory webinar by Dr. Pramod Tripathi. 

 

I was given a well-designed plan after studying my case. Initially, I was taking three medicines in the morning, Three in the evening, And One with lunch. After joining FFD, My medications started reducing and by the end of six months, I was completely off medication. My HbA1c improved from 7.1 to 6.7-6.8.

As for my weight, I had a low BMI and had lost about 10-15% of my body weight over the 15-16 years due to diabetes and its effects. Although I had been advised to gain some weight, I had only been able to add about 1 to 1.5 kg so far.

I practice muscle-building exercises about three to four times a week, despite my busy schedule as a surgeon.

I have been maintaining my physical activity by going to the gym or, If I can’t make it, Doing strength exercises at home. I used to follow workout videos during the COVID-19 lockdown period and continue with a combination of both gym and home workouts.

As a doctor, I found the FFD program scientifically sound and was impressed by the explanations regarding insulin resistance and the approach to reversing diabetes. I would like many more to join FFD for their health benefit. 

Thanks to all the experts.
