Kapamilya actor Sam Milby has revealed in an Instagram post that he has Type 2 diabetes. This is a lifelong disease characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. The type 2 is the most common form of diabetes.
If you have this condition, your fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin called insulin resistance, and this results in glucose not go to the cells to be stored for energy.
Some of the early symptoms are fatigue, hunger, increased thirst, increased urination, and blurred vision. With better lifestyle changes, this can be prevented or delayed. Those who have prediabetes, overweight, 45 and older, with a family that has this condition, physically inactive, had gestational diabetes, have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are at risk for type 2 diabetes.
In the post of Milby, he expressed that he has always thought of himself as a healthy person. It is no secret that the actor has an active lifestyle and is mindful of what he eats. He added that he also doesn’t have a sweet tooth and rarely eat junk foods but last year, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
He could only wish that he found it earlier. The main symptoms he suffered from were being always thirsty and often urinating. He wrote, “My parents and grandparents never had it. I just wish I got checked up earlier nung pre diabetes pa. My advice – don’t ignore the symptoms (my main symptoms – always thirsty and urinating often) and get checked up regularly.”
