Hello everyone!
I'm Belina K, an Independent Professional and Podcaster from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Key Takeaways From My Diabetes Journey Include:
- Medications stopped

- Weight loss of 15 kg
My Diabetes Story
My journey began with the detection of elevated blood sugar levels during a preoperative examination, leading to continuous insulin administration to manage levels during surgery.
Following the procedure, I relied on both oral medication and insulin, experiencing a few hypoglycemic episodes despite strict dietary adherence.
While I successfully discontinued insulin usage after 15 months, I have depended on oral medication for the past 15 years. In 2023, my fasting blood sugar levels steadily increased, despite attempts at intermittent fasting.
Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, I knew it was imperative to address this issue internally.
Introduction to FFD
I learned about FFD through a friend married to an army personnel who had participated in the FFD program. When researching solutions for my health issue, I noticed FFD advertisements on social media, which caught my interest.
Why FFD?
I disliked the dependency on insulin and medications. Encounters with FFD felt like a clear sign from the universe, prompting me to embrace it wholeheartedly. Consequently, I enrolled in the FFD's Type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP.

Reversal Story
My journey with FFD has been remarkable. The dedicated FFD team analysed my case thoroughly and devised a personalized plan, yielding incredible results.
Within 45 days, my reliance on diabetes medications ceased, and my HbA1c improved from 6.9 to 5.8.
Special mention goes to Dr. Ashwini Bhanagay for instilling confidence in me to embrace fasting. I completed 48-hour fasts, a task that once seemed challenging, and comfortably practiced SNS for a week without experiencing hypoglycemia.
The inner transformation sessions with Mrs. Paramita Chakraborty have been invaluable, providing excellent guidance.
The highlight of this program has been my weight loss; dropping from 80.6 kg to 65.6 kg. Compliments for my weight loss are growing daily, bringing me joy. However, there's a tinge of sadness during shopping, as M sizes are rarely available.
On a lighter note, I request Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Dr. Malhar Ganla to advocate for increased production of M and S sizes, as the shift towards smaller sizes is becoming more prevalent due to FFD.
I now revel in extended weekend walks, feeling relieved of the pressure on my knees. I aspire to take up swimming once my frozen shoulder returns to a better state.
I am grateful to Dr. Shubhankar, who kindly stepped in at my request and provided guidance on tackling my various orthopedic issues.
