Hello all,

I'm Shashank Kulkarni Working in Bajaj Auto Corporate as DGM.

My diabetes story


Upon visiting my doctor for a routine blood pressure check, he recommended including a sugar test given the common correlation between high blood pressure and elevated sugar levels.

To my surprise, the results disclosed a concerning HbA1c level of 10.9, indicating a serious issue with my blood sugar. Despite the suggestion to commence medication promptly, I expressed my desire to explore dietary and lifestyle changes first before resorting to pharmaceutical intervention.

Struggling with a weight of 80 kg added another layer of complexity to my health concerns.

How was FFD introduced?


Dr. Pramod Tripathi had visited our office and conducted a session where he spoke about reversing diabetes and lifestyle disorders.

What made me choose FFD?


I never liked being on medicines. FFD was offering hope. I immediately joined FFD's type 2 diabetes reversal program HTP then known as IRP batch 32 to reverse my diabetes in a natural way.

Reversal story


Thank God I joined FFD; it saved me in more ways than one. Embracing the program with unwavering dedication proved to be a life-changing decision.

From day one, I witnessed a remarkable transformation as my sugar levels began to normalize, and with time, I received the incredible news that medication might no longer be necessary.

The journey from an alarming HbA1c of 10.9 to a healthy 5.5 was nothing short of a miracle.  My weight reduced from 80 kg to 64 kg, now stabilised to 68 kg is also superb.

The positive impact extended beyond sugar control, as my blood pressure levels also showed marked improvement. Passing the diabetic GTT test not just once or twice but a staggering eight times filled me with pride and validated the sustainable reversal achieved through FFD.

Today, I indulge in five types of sweets annually, yet my postprandial sugar levels remain normal. My fitness routine includes morning swims and an evening regime includes walking, running or gym workouts for an hour. Completing ten 21k Marathons and numerous 10k runs is a testament to the regained vitality.

To stay engaged with FFD, I began mentoring from batch 34, and I am pleased to report that approximately 250 individuals under my guidance have joined FFD, achieving a success rate of 54%.
