Life is full of challenges. If you face it then you win over it.  While I faced many challenges and problems in my life diabetes reversal was a challenge to myself and to my ability because as many doctors informed me that I have to live with it for the remaining part of my life.

Result diabetes means that I have to control my sweet tongue, and my intake of food on a day-to-day basis. Moreover, it was a stigma. Since then I was restless and looking for the removal of diabetes.

I was sure there should be some way out to get rid of it because the world is getting rid of so many diseases such as cholera, polio, malaria etc. 

I am Raja Sharma, a 63 years young, Chartered Accountant, from Mumbai.  Fortunately, I do not have a family history of diabetes but I cannot deny the professional stress of working as a CA.

In 2018, I realized that I suddenly got giddiness and fell and lost consciousness. Then I rushed to my family doctor who suggested a blood check-up including HbA1c.

The test results showed I am diabetic with HbA1c 13+.  It was a  complete shock when I was told to have medicine for the rest of my life plus no sugar & sweets at all with restricted food. I started visiting many doctors but got the same message.

I too was put on anti-diabetic medications like others.  I also developed high BP and my doctor told me that Diabetes & BP are twins and medicines are life-long. It was devastation in my life.

Social media is very useful if you use it properly.  It proved to be a boon in my case as I came to know about FFD through a Whatsapp Group post that was making rounds.

The post was about an introductory online session with Dr. Pramod Tripathi regarding how to reverse diabetes.  I listened to his lecture and was convinced that I should give it a try. 

Because he gave a detailed step-by-step method to overcome diabetes, I enrolled in the FFD diabetes reversal program HTP batch 71 and still feel that it was the best thing I did in my life. At the time of enrollment, my reading was 7.2 in April 2021.

They deployed various doctors to monitor my eating habits and few exercises. And just 10 days after enrollment time I was congratulated by the doctor in FFD  for turning nondiabetic. I just could not enjoy/realize the joy because my mind was clouded under the impression that it is a lifelong disease.

Till I joined FFD, I was under the impression that diet and exercise are the key points to maintaining sugars and health.  But after coming here, I understood that inner peace to is equally important.

I would like to place my thanks to the Doctor in the FFD team who encouraged me all the time..  Indeed it was a miracle. They know how to aptly use the technology. 

As they got to know about my difficulty, I was asked to share my exercise video to know in detail about the range of motion of the affected hand.  Was accordingly given suggestions.  The team also motivated me to do exercise regularly, which helped me a lot. 

In the month of July, I stopped BP medicine also.    At the time of enrollment, my weight was 88 kg and within 9 months it reduced to 74.

When I attended my office in February 2022 more than 100 colleagues enquired about me and appreciated me for becoming fit. My family members were aghast of my achievement. Let me also add here the FFD app is a very good one.

Meanwhile, I suffered from COVID in Jan 2022 which put a break on my journey, but now I am back on track. Because I became non-diabetic it was not a problem for me.

Let me tell you that diabetes & BP medicine which I was consuming for more than 3 years got stopped immediately after enrolling in FFD.

When detected, my Hb1Ac was 13 +.  Joined the program in April 2021 and stopped medicine after just 10 days of the program.  My last Hb1Ac reading in April 2022 was 5.9 without medicines

I conveyed this diabetes reversal to my family doctor.  He didn't believe it.  In fact, he took the FFD contact number from me for enrolling a few of his patients.

After reaching a certain stage of reversal, we were told about the Glucose Tolerance Test and its importance in diabetes reversal.  I have already completed 2 months of GTT test and the results are well in control.

I am sure I will pass the litmus test and will definitely clear it after which I wish my name will be eligible to be included in the list of motivational success stories.

Placing my thanks with folded hands to FFD.
