My Diabetes Story
In 2011, I began experiencing telltale signs of excessive fatigue, increased thirst, frequent urination, and sudden weight loss. Given my mother's history with diabetes, I recognized these as potential symptoms of the condition.
To confirm my suspicions, I monitored my blood sugar levels using a glucometer, which revealed alarmingly high readings. This prompted me to consult my doctor, where an HbA1c test yielded a concerning high result of 11.
Despite having a maternal connection to this disorder, I developed it at a relatively young age, in my early 30s. The combination of a hereditary predisposition and the stress of running my own business likely contributed to the onset of my diabetes.
At the time of joining FFD, I was dependent on a significant dosage of 20 to 25 units of insulin, along with accompanying medications to manage my condition.
How was FFD Introduced?
One of my neighbors had attended FFD program.
What made me choose FFD?
I never liked being on insulin/medicines. FFD was offering hope so I enrolled in its type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP.
Reversal Story
Joining the FFD program proved to be an excellent decision that yielded far greater benefits than I had initially anticipated. The dedicated FFD team assigned to me conducted a comprehensive analysis of my case and meticulously designed a personalized plan tailored to my specific needs.
As I diligently followed this customized plan, I began witnessing remarkable results.
Within a span of one and a half months, I was able to discontinue my insulin injections, followed by the cessation of oral medications within two and a half months.
Remarkably, my HbA1c level improved from a concerning 11 to a substantially lower 7.8, a truly amazing achievement.
At FFD, I learned the importance of maintaining an alkaline state in the body by incorporating smoothies into my diet. I also gained valuable insights into weight management through practices like fasting and portion control.
I found the concept of sharing pictures of my meal plates particularly interesting and beneficial. Receiving instant feedback on these photographs provided crucial guidance and accountability.
There were occasions when dining out with friends posed challenges in making suitable food choices. However, the FFD diet team came to my rescue, offering invaluable support and making the process much more manageable.
FFD has taught me that with discipline and commitment, it is possible to lead a normal, medication-free life.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my team members, including my doctor, Dr. Amruta, diet expert Sanjana, exercise expert Sayali Kale, and others, for their unwavering guidance and support throughout this transformative journey.
