Introduction
Hello friends
I am Praveen S. Subramanya, from Bangalore. I am a Registered Valuer as per the Indian Companies Act and have been valuing Real Estate, Plant and Machinery, and Businesses across Asia and Africa.
I have a strong family history of diabetes with the past two generations suffering from it on my father's side. So the probability of me having it was high.
How was my diabetes diagnosed?
In July 2020, I noticed some bodily changes such as frequent thirst, and muscle loss strength, so and got myself tested.
Difficulties I faced
Had the problem of being thirsty all the time and the muscles losing strength. To counter this, I started walking long distances and made changes to my diet. This was important as I did not want to take any medicines.
I had seen the suffering that my father and grandfather had gone through with medicines. Hence, was keen on getting some way to make changes in my lifestyle for managing diabetes.

How did I come to know about FFD?
I had been to my chartered accountant for business purposes. This was after about a year of being diagnosed with diabetes. When I mentioned this to him during a casual conversation, he suggested FFD to me. He also shared his positive experience with me and how he had benefitted from the program.
FFD journey
I realized the objectives of FFD were exactly what I was looking for - no medicines, guidance for lifestyle changes, support for understanding the changes in the body, and how to manage the changes. Without a doubt, I joined the FFD diabetes reversal program HTP batch 80.
When I joined, my fasting was 400 and PP 480. FFD doctor counseled and suggested medicines to bring down the sugars under control. The same was taken for about a week.
After one week of medicines, diet, and exercises, medicines were stopped and since then I have not taken any sugar control-related medicines. Regular sugar testing has shown that I have rarely breached the sugar levels in fasting as well as after food.
I was about 75 kg when I joined the program with a BMI of about 25. The program reduced my weight to 69 Kg with a BMI of 23 in the first two months. After that, I have maintained at about 72 kg continuously.
Impression
I am feeling extremely good. I am proud to share that I have been taking GTT tests for about 8 weeks now and there has been not even one time when my sugar levels have crossed the limits.
Takeaways
- Medicines stopped
- BMI change from 25 to 23
- Excellent progress
