“I’ve always thought of myself as a healthy person. I don’t have a sweet tooth, bihira din mag junk food, pero last year I found out na may type 2 diabetes na ako [I rarely eat junk food, but last year I found out that I have type 2 diabetes]. My parents and grandparents never had it,” he wrote.
The actor urged his followers not to ignore symptoms, emphasizing the importance of regular checkups.
“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,” he added.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, over 180 mg/dL is considered hyperglycemia or high blood sugar. Aside from increased thirst and urination, other symptoms of diabetes include increased hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, numbness, and weight loss.
