My Diabetes Story
In July 2024, I noticed a swelling in my right foot and decided to consult a neighborhood diabetic specialist known for addressing foot-related complications in diabetes.
Deep down, I feared I might have diabetes. The doctor advised a series of tests, and to my shock, my HbA1c came back at 13.8! With a strong family history of diabetes on my paternal side—including my father and both elder brothers—I realized I had to act quickly.
Interestingly, I didn’t experience any other major symptoms apart from the swelling in my legs and a peculiar sensation in the sole of my foot, which I later learned was Peripheral Neuropathy.
How was FFD introduced?
A former subordinate from Pune in my previous organization recommended Dr. Pramod Tripathi's name to me. Like any typical IT professional, I followed up with a Google search and explored various websites for more information.
What made me choose FFD?
There are four points like the following:-
1. A trusted recommendation from a reliable person.
2. Comprehensive material available online for research.
3. Attending the DRS session for deeper insights.
4. The practical thought that even if it didn’t work, the investment of 3000 per month for consultations with a doctor, dietician, and exercise expert was a great deal!

Reversal Story
Unbelievable is the only word that captures my FFD journey so far!
My diabetic medications are now down to just 1.5 tablets daily (and I am optimistic they will be stopped entirely by next month). When in July, my HbA1c was a staggering 13.8. It dropped to 12.1 when I joined the program a month later, and by December 10th, 2024, it had plunged to 6. My Beato app even predicts that it will hit 5.3 soon, and I am confident it will!
For over 25 years, I lived with a pot belly, believing “it runs in the family.” In just four months, I have shed nearly 20 kg, and my waist has gone from 38" to 32". Of course, it has a downside—I now need a whole new wardrobe! But on the upside, I am free from the occasional knee pain and backaches that once troubled me.
The insights from the inner transformation consultant have been nothing short of enlightening. My key takeaway? “I am not The God,” a mantra I am actively trying to apply in my life.
I feel more energetic, less worried (knowing my health is in the right hands), and ready to take on new challenges.
Recently, I picked up cycling again—after a gap of 27 years! My goal? To hit the Titanium levels by the end of the year.
