Ok, so back in 2014, I will wake up extremely thirsty, extremely. How come I would wake up so thirsty on a Tuesday morning ? Wait, I didn’t drink any alcohol the night before, perhaps, am I dehydrated? I would have blamed it on the tequila bottle from the weekend but no, it was Tuesday, just kidding… I was really getting dressed for work and feeling very tired, exhausted and thirsty as hell.
Well, a few days went by, I will drink lots of water and pee every fucking 5 min, but I was like oh I’m drinking lots of water, I’m peeing a lot, duh makes sense right ?
And well, we humans are very strong mentally, we want to believe everything is ok and fine, so we are like, wait, it’s ok, I’m just thirsty.
On top of this I was drinking sugary drinks: juices, maybe a soda, a red bull, literally killing myself slowlyyyyy…
I don’t know how many days or maybe months went on like this, and then I started losing weight. I looked very skinny and I wasn’t really trying to lose weight. Also I was hungry all the time, I was eating normal with no intention of dropping weight.
What are the symptoms of diabetes ?
–Extreme Thirst
–Frequent Urination
–Unexplained Weight Loss
–Exhaustion, Fatigue and Weakness
–Blurred Vision
So those are the most common symptoms. This is exactly what I experienced during a period of weeks or maybe months, I’m not really sure. The best advice is to always be aware and connected to your own body. Sometimes we get busy with life and we forget to listen to the ways our bodies speak to us.
Your body is an incredible machine, the processes happening simultaneously are unfathomable. We humans don’t really understand but the connection between mind and body is something I will never comprehend. It’s a miracle. In case you forgot, we are the most incredible machine ever created, but just like life itself, it is not perfect.
We don’t really appreciate the value of health until something happens to us. That is how life works.
This is probably a dumb example but I’ve been driving the same car for the past 8 years, if I don’t hear any sound or weird noise I don’t take it to the mechanic because it still takes me to work and back home. When I hear something I take it to the mechanic and pay for any repairs that have to be done. I’ve put a few thousands dollars in it because I’m not just going to give up on it. You might say, it’s just a car, sell it and buy a brand new one, yeah I could do that… Why am I comparing a car to your body ? you can give up on your car and change it, you can not change/trade your body. Now, don’t you fucking give up on your body.

I’ve never regretted stepping into the gym at least for a short workout, not one single time…
