Hello all,
I'm Panamalai Krisanaswami Gopalakrishnan from Bangalore. I used to hold a prestigious position as an MNC Executive, then worked as director in Phillips company. Fast forward to 2006, I joined position of Site Director in Chennai with full vigor.
My diabetes story
During my 25 years of service abroad I used to travel extensively and so my eating habits ( timing and food) and lifestyle ( lack of sleep due to odd hours of travel ) went out of control.
Only when I returned to India in 2006 I realized that past habits had started taking toll on my health like BP.
Then in 2012 when I went for annual medical check up I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It was such an unexpected revelation because neither of my parents had it.
However, my elder sister battled with this disease too. Looking back, I realized that my body had been warning me something was wrong since 2006 when I started taking hypertension medication.
How was FFD introduced?
The major source behind me learning about FFD has been through Youtube videos. The platform provided an ocean of information about this fascinating concept of "Diabetes Reversal".
What made me choose FFD?
In the 10 years since my diagnosis, I had come to realize the very real risks of complications - and I simply could not bear the thought of becoming a burden on anyone else.
That's why when I learned about FFD and their innovative approach to reversing diabetes, I knew it was exactly what I needed. Without a second thought, I enrolled in FFD type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP.

Reversal story
Being a part of the FFD program has been nothing short of a miracle for me, especially as someone who had struggled with diabetes for 10 years.
From the very first week of following the program's guidelines, I was amazed to see my dependence on diabetes medication begin to decrease. And within just two months, I was able to completely stop taking them altogether!
I lost an incredible 9.5 kg and saw my HbA1c levels drop from 7.5 with medication to 6.9 without it; something that even my doctor found remarkable! My fatty liver has disappeared.
The cherry on the cake is my uric acid level too is normal. BP has also been quite steady and FFD doctor has told that once my BMI comes to 23( currently at 24.3) even the 50mg which I am taking for BP will be dropped.
My wardrobe has changed and my spirit is high as I feel very elated as people around me admire my new look.
All in all it has been a wonderful journey. People around me initially thought I was sick as my weight loss was significant ( from 100kgs in 2006 to 96 to 87 and now 76.8kgs) but I had to tell them about FFD program which enabled me to bring my weight down and lead a healthy life. Positive impact of this has led to one of our apartment person wanting to enroll on Obesity Reversal Program.
All these could not have been achieved but for positive support and encouragement I got from my doctor Dr. Pournima Kulkarni, dietician Ms Pooja Venkatesh and physiotherapist Dr. Afrin Gilani.
Thanks for your effort and support.
