Hi all
I am Shobhana Jitendra Nanawala from Surat, Gujarat.
Although now retired, I was working as a Forensic Science Officer with the Government of Gujarat,
What inspired me to join FFD?
I wanted a unrestricted, medicine-free life.
Family history
Both my parents suffered from diabetes.
How did I get to know about my diabetes?
In December 2014, I was hospitalized for flu-like symptoms which was suspected to be swine flu. My random sugars at the time became very high around 230-250mg/dL. I was told I needed to be on medicines temporarily but they continued.
I did not suffer from any major complications but somewhere in my mind I never liked the limitations on food, especially in social events or meetings.

How did FFD happen?
My husband is a psychiatrist and he had a WhatsApp group of his doctor friends. I got the FFD link through this group. I thought "If doctors are recommending it, there must be something”. I finally made up my mind and joined the Diabetes Reversal Program (HTP).
FFD journey
It has been a beautiful journey to being an FFDian. All 4 protocols are superb. My diabetes medicines stopped in around 4-5 months and I lost a good 13 kgs of weight too.
One more good thing! I lost 2-2.5 inches uniformly and now I am fit to wear my favorite clothes!!
"Quotable Quote"
"I feel light and very happy. I’m enjoying compliments from family and friends. Thank you, FFD"
Key takeaways
- Freedom from medicine
- Weight loss of 13 kg
- Uniform inch loss
