Wasn't doing drugs, wasn't drinking heavily, nor was I abusing any pills. I decided to go get myself checked out.
These days diseases are so common that they can caught anyone even if one is not on drugs. This Reminds me of my story in 2021, when accediently (or for my own good) I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes as my Hba!c (sugar test that gives profile of your sugar level in body for last three months) was too high. Doctor told me that I had this disease with me for almost year or two but I didnt realized that since there were no symptoms. It turns out that its because of my unhealthy dietery pattern
Since then I am controlling my blood sugar with diet, no medicine. If anyone wanna know how to control sugar without using medicine he can PM me and I will guide him with ways I am adopting.
Without getting overly political, many folks likely realize that diabetes (especially type 2) is largely a product of modern living that can either be prevented or brought down a lot by lifestyle changes - likely diet more than anything else, even though surely the other BIG two of getting decent sleep and adequate exercise can complement good dietary practices.
One thing which I think is very obvious with humans is that we don't take things seriously until or unless we are in an undesired solution. No matter how much we advocate that unhealthy eating habit is not good for health, people take it forgranted unless they are caught with some disease like diabetes, blood pressure or anyother related disease.
You can get diabetes even if you don't have obesity and you eat healthy, thanks to modern day depression.
Till 30 to 35 years, we are young and body can withstand food abuses but after that the body defense against such abuses weakens and we start getting diseases.
In case of Yahoo as you said its more important for him to get his surgery done and after his surgery he can focus on healthy diet to live a good life. As he said that he is not on drugs or take pills still he got this disease that very likely because of genetic issue.
