Hello All,
I'm Rakhi Rahul Joshi, a Business Owner based in Pune.
My Diabetes Story
A medical checkup in 2019 confirmed I had diabetes. Despite having a paternal connection to this condition, I never expected it.
I was also facing challenges with my thyroid in 2018 and cholesterol in 2020.
Excess weight was also something that I needed to address.
What made me choose FFD?
I never liked being on medicines. FFD was offering hope so I enrolled in its annual program HTP.
My Fasting Story
Fasting has always been a challenge for me, especially since I became diabetic. However, I had the opportunity to attend the Meet and Greet event at FFD, which ignited my enthusiasm for fasting during Navratri. This fasting was done by Dr. Pramod Tripathi with the FFD group.
I never imagined that losing weight and lowering my blood sugar levels could be this straightforward. I managed to complete a 3-day (no meal) SSS with remarkable ease, a stark contrast to my experience during my 64th batch when I struggled to finish in just 42 hours.
This time, I doubled that duration effortlessly and was thrilled to see two-digit blood sugar levels on my glucometer, with fasting readings around 80 and random readings around 90. I even lost 3 kg during this period.
The only difficulty I encountered was on the fourth day when I felt extremely hungry (perhaps it was psychological) and weak, prompting me to break my fast in the morning.
I felt lightheaded for the rest of the day, which might have been due to a drop in my blood pressure, but I couldn't check it at home as I don't have a BP monitor.
Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I can't wait for the second version of FFF after Diwali.
With lots of blessings and gratitude for FFD!
