Kapamilya actor Sam Milby recently disclosed on Instagram that he has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
He shared a photo of his blood sugar glucose test kit, which showed a reading of 525 mg/dL, indicating a high level of blood sugar.
In his caption, Milby wrote, “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.”
Milby mentioned that there is no history of diabetes in his family, stating, “My parents and grandparents never had it. I just wish I got checked up earlier nung pre-diabetes pa.”
He also offered advice to his followers, urging them to pay attention to potential symptoms and prioritize regular health check-ups. “My advice – don’t ignore the symptoms (my main symptoms – always thirsty and urinating often) and get checked up regularly.”
