Becoming Diabetes-Free at 68: A Testimonial of FFD's Impact

  • Name - Mrs. Kalyani Narayanan
  • Age - 68 Years Young
  • Profession - Retired Banker
  • Place - Pune

Hello all,

I'm Mrs Kalyani Narayanan, Retired from PNB (Punjab National Bank).

My diabetes story


In January 2012, I received a diabetes diagnosis due to persistent cold and cough symptoms that wouldn't subside. I was prescribed lifelong medication, which I strongly disliked.

Family history wise both my mother and mother-in-law also faced diabetes.

Despite experimenting with various alternative treatments, none proved successful. Recognizing the potential escalation of my medication to insulin over time, I was determined to find an alternative solution.

How was FFD introduced?


I was introduced to FFD by a friend, and I watched all the videos. The video featuring Dr. B M Hegde, whom I greatly admire, left a lasting impression on me.

What made me choose FFD?


I never liked being on medicines and wanted to avoid future complications. FFD was offering hope. As soon as I came back to India, I registered myself for the 78th HTP batch of FFD.

Reversal story


Joining FFD has been the most rewarding decision, and I have no regrets whatsoever. My health showed improvement from the very first day, and within six months of being part of FFD, I successfully discontinued my medication.

While weight was never a concern, my HbA1c levels significantly improved.

In terms of physical activity, I incorporate 108 Surya Namaskars into most of my days, along with additional exercises and meditation whenever time allows. Zumba, a childhood passion, became a delightful addition, bringing back fond memories.

I express deep gratitude to my app doctor Vaishali Jadhav, dietician Beena, and exercise expert for guiding me on this liberating journey.

Special thanks to Dr. Pramod Tripathi, especially for his impactful video on deep self-introspection, where he outlines 50 points that shed light on what we might be missing.

Having successfully cleared IGT in 2022 and GTT in 2023 through diligent efforts, I continue to adhere to the FFD diet and exercise regimen. While I occasionally deviate during festivals and weddings, I predominantly stick to my vegan diet, focusing on millets.

At 68, I am determined to bring my HbA1c to 5.6 and achieve a non-diabetic status.
