An inspirational story of diabetes reversal from Uttarakhand
- Name- Dr. Lokesh Kumar
- Age- 58 years
- Profession- Govt. Servant
- Place - Haridwar, Uttarakhand
Pre-FFD, 'Transformation" was just a word for me. Post-FFD, I am proud that I myself am a true example of it . I am Dr. Lokesh Kumar, a 58 years young, veterinarian, from Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Family history-wise, my father was a diabetic and my brother is also diabetic. Professional stress was in the form of official work to attain targets. These were the 2 strong factors that gave me diabetes I think.
I clearly remember, in May 2011, I was facing problems with excess thirst, excess urination, lethargy, and giddiness. This was quite unusual for me, so I consulted my regular doctor. He suggested I get routine blood tests done which I did. News of diabetes was not a shock but definitely discouraging.
I too was put on anti-diabetic medicines like others. Thus began my 11 years long journey with diabetes. The other problems that I faced along with diabetes were acidity, anger, hypertension, skin, knee pain, and kidney stone. I also underwent appendectomy some 35 years back but this has got nothing to do with diabetes.
FFD was introduced to me through my brother. As mentioned above, he is diabetic too and had joined FFD for himself. He convinced me that FFD is the only right place as he too had benefitted a lot.
Without a second thought, I joined the FFD diabetes reversal program - HTP batch 68. Our program began with a phase 1 diet and exercise plan. FFD diet team showed me their expertise at the beginning itself.

Getting the recommended major greens was difficult in Uttarakhand. FFD people immediately suggested alternatives for it. What a supportive start it was!
I had joined with the aim of reversing my diabetes and gaining good health and was delighted to join the program. Within just 1 month of following the protocols, I was told to stop my diabetes medicine by my FFD doctor. WOW... it was the greatest feeling of freedom after 11 long years.
I also learned many new things at Freedom from Diabetes. I had no idea how meditation is done and what benefit it gives. FFD's inner transformation department taught me how to meditate and let negative thoughts go off. This really helped me get a lot of positivity.
Now, the turn came to approach GTT- the glucose tolerance test. I was appropriately guided and supported to climb up the glycemic ladder. All these collective efforts gave me success. I cleared GTT with flying colors.
When I was told to choose my athletic identity, I chose to be a cyclist. Just last Sunday, I completed 34 km of cycling.I am free from medicine, lost 20 kg of weight, and feeling more energetic.
This is true 'Transformation".... a true Life 2.0.
All thanks to FFD.
