Health is precious, you need to value it.  Maintaining a proper work-life balance plays a very important part in this.  FFD showed me the right path to regain health and I am really grateful for it. I am Avadhoot Jayaprakash Deshpande, a 42 years young, IT professional from Pune.

There is a family history of diabetes on my maternal side.  But the strong reason for me getting diabetes is professional stress and lifestyle, I think.  There is a lot of work delivery pressure and the need to work in the late hours of the night.  All this had given me an additional bad habit of eating at night.

Things were fine till 2019.  In 2019, I realized I was feeling drowsy with occasional blurred vision.  These were pretty new symptoms to me.  I was also suffering from frequent urination at that time.  After observing for a few days, I made up the decision to consult my doctor.  The advised tests revealed high blood sugar levels which meant I had diabetes.

First 2 years, I was maintained on anti-diabetic oral tablets and later 2 years I had to be maintained on 62 units of insulin.  The doctor explained to me that tablets were not effective and so we have to switch to insulin. In the meanwhile, I had to undergo colostomy surgery for ulcerative colitis in 2018 where a portion of my large and small intestine had to be removed.

Professionally, I was doing well, reaching new heights.  But what about health?... it was deteriorating and the most pinching thing too. I wished I would do something about it. My first encounter with FFD was through Facebook reviews.  And I think that was the turning point of my life.

I booked my seat for the online session with Dr. Pramod Tripathi and got all the basic information about how to reverse diabetes. I was extremely happy about the fact that there is some way to come out of my situation.  The next step was to join the FFD diabetes reversal program - HTP which I did.

The whole program revolves around 4 main pillars - diet, exercise, inner transformation, and medical assistance. I am not allowed to lift heavy weights or put any kind of pressure on my stomach as I had undergone a colostomy.  So FFD exercise expert advised me to avoid the planks and chair Surya namaskar which was a great piece of advice.

Also got appropriate dietary guidance from the dietician. With all this support and motivation, I started enjoying the protocol thoroughly and doing good progress.

I lost 9 kg in the first 4 months.  Now my blood reports on iron, and uric acid have become normal.  I have become more active and sharp now. When the time came to choose an athletic identity, I opted for cycling majorly with water fasting weekly.

For the last 3 days, I am not taking any insulin as my BSL is normal without insulin.  So, I can say I am free from insulin now. I have a long way to go but, there is one difference...I know the path now. 

Thank you, FFD for helping me regain health and enjoy my life.
