My Diabetes Story
In 2016, my blood tests first indicated that I had prediabetes. Since my father has diabetes, I knew I had to be cautious.
For the next few years, I managed my prediabetes, but last year, I received the news that it had progressed to full-blown diabetes.
I dealt with several challenges, including being overweight, skin problems, sleep apnea, and constant low energy and fatigue.
My goal was to free myself from medications and shed the extra weight.
How was FFD Introduced?
After my initial diabetes diagnosis, my doctor in the US suggested I join the Freedom from Diabetes program. She mentioned that starting on medication would be tough and recommended focusing on natural healing instead.
I had been managing pre-diabetes for 10 years prior to this.
What made me choose FFD?
I never liked being on medicines. I also needed to lose weight. FFD was offering hope so I enrolled in its annual program HTP.

Reversal Story
My case was meticulously examined by the team assigned to me, and they developed a personalized plan based on their findings. As I began to follow the plan, I saw positive results.
My blood sugar levels began to stabilize, and soon I was told I no longer needed medication. My HbA1c improved from 6.6 to 5.4.
The weight loss has been remarkable. I’ve lost over 50 pounds (about 23 kg), reduced my body fat by 11%, and lowered my BMI by 6.7. I've gone from a pant size of 44 to 33. Additionally, my metabolic age has dropped from 58 to 53, even though my actual age is 54.
My asthma has improved, my sleep apnea is gone, and I’m finally free from eczema and skin issues for the first time in my life.
The results exceeded all my expectations—it has truly been life-changing. I never imagined I could lose so much weight and transform my lifestyle in such a positive way. The program was easy to follow, focusing on gradual changes with strong support and encouragement. It’s designed to help you slowly adopt a healthier lifestyle, making it a lifelong journey rather than a quick fix.
I’m incredibly grateful. After 25 years of struggling with my weight, I’ve finally reached a healthy weight in just 9 months. I feel stronger, more confident, and full of energy, with positivity and enthusiasm surrounding me everyday. I constantly receive compliments!
Though I'm a regular at the gym, I also enjoy yoga, long meditation sessions, and practicing Art of Living breathing techniques.
