Hello all,
I'm an engineer by qualification who owns a small trading company in Dubai, UAE.
My diabetes story
In the year 2017, it became evident that I was grappling with hypertension, and a range of other health concerns started to surface. I battled perpetual tiredness, relentless fatigue, constant drowsiness, and an alarming disinterest in work, all of which were exacerbated by my struggle with obesity.
I had gained up to 105 kg and the only suggestion my doctor gave for weight loss was to opt for bariatric surgery. The burden of excess weight also took a toll on my knees, causing severe pain.
To add to my worries, I had experienced a stubborn toe infection that took an unusually long time to heal, serving as a stark indicator that something was amiss within my body.
In light of these health challenges, coupled with the genetic link of my mother having diabetes, it seemed prudent to undergo a comprehensive medical examination, which ultimately led to my diagnosis of diabetes.
How did FFD happen?
My uncle had previously participated in this program and recommended that I give it a try.
What made me choose FFD?
It was very important for me to reverse diabetes and lose weight. I opposed the idea of undergoing surgery solely for weight loss, and I believed that the path to a healthy life now lay in self-discipline and a form of therapy.
My daughter was also concerned about my physical condition. After she saw photos of me from about a decade ago and compared them to my current appearance, she was genuinely shocked by the changes.
Her concern and motivation played a significant role in my decision to embark on a journey with FFD.
The introductory webinar by Dr. Pramod Tripathi added to my confidence and I enrolled in Freedom from Diabetes type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP immediately. My daughter also became a part of it to really push me to do it.
Reversal story
My journey with FFD has been incredibly rewarding. Currently, my weight stands at 132 kilograms, down from 146 kilograms as of May 1, 2023. I have been free from diabetes medicines for the past three months. My cholesterol medication has been reduced by half.
I've grown accustomed to smoothies and red juice, and I'm content with this diet as it promotes my overall health, reduces my dependence on medications, and allows me the occasional pleasure of enjoying my favorite non-vegetarian dishes in moderation.
My HbA1c has improved from 8.42 when diagnosed to a level of 6.7%.
Despite being quite athletic in the past and actively participating in sports like badminton, I've been grappling with severe pain in my left knee for the last decade, which has made it challenging to engage in any sports or even extended periods of walking.
With FFD treatment, I've developed a keen interest in exercise and make an effort to incorporate a few minutes of physical activity into my daily routine.
I experience a sense of lightness and vitality throughout the day. During my previous diabetes treatment, the focus was solely on medication, and the concept of diabetes reversal was never discussed. However, it wasn't until I became a part of FFD that I started to believe that I could achieve lifelong freedom from diabetes.
