From one of the post " To all taxi driver " , BenQEpson revealed from his last post that he suffered from diabetes and had to be on medication for his rest of his life , and i dun like hearing that .
This is a good time to share about diabetes , we should be knowing more about diabetes .
Health Infos Sharing cannot be anyway compromised .
I really hope BenQEpson can come forward , tell us more about diabetes .

Just a few question .... if u dun mind .
BenQEpson , how old were you when u were diagnosed with diabetes ?
Your father or mother , or grandparents , got history of diabetes ?
Are you fat , overweight type of person ?
What could be the caused of the diabetes ( according to doctors ) ?
Food ?
Too much sugar intake ? Too much Coke ?
To saltish ?
Just hope we can get some answers to learnt more about diabetes .

Last question , was driving taxi for the night shift overall affected your health , that eventually caused diabetes ?
Or getting diabetes has got nothing to do with driving taxi ?
-
Also from that post , u mentioned " Diabetes" and " high blood pressure " .....
Is it link ? Meaning u diagnosed with diabetes and high blood at the same time ?

There are 2 types of diabetes :
type 1 : need daily insulin injections
type 2 : usually occurs in adulthood because of obesity and usually on oral medications
A diabetes has a higher risk of getting hypertension (high blood pressure) as well.
If a person is both diabetic and hypertension, the risk of getting kidney disease is also higher.
Then there is also a higher risk of getting heart disease and stroke.
Symptoms of a diabetic person :
Blur vision
Excessive thirst for sweet or gassy drinks
Fatigue or get tired easily
Frequent urination
Hunger and weigh loss

My grandma and my mum both passed away with diabetes as the main cause. Grandma even had to have one leg amputated after gangrene set in.
My brother- a routine pre-surgery checkup for torn ligament revealed a 50-60% blockage of his blood vessels. The torn ligament surgery was abandoned and bypass perform almost immdiately. Had it not been for the torn ligament, he would have been a goner.
As diabetes is hereditary, my chances of getting diabetes is higher. i have been watching my sugar and carbo intake since i turned 40. Thankfully, my last full medical checkup revealed a clean bill of health. It is not expensive at about $150 at NTUC healthcare. It includes all sorts of tests (except stools) like tumour markings (for cancer), diabetes, kidney function, liver function etc. It also includes a scaled down ECG test for blockages.
So to all bros here, please do go for a full checkup. It can save you from more future medical problems. If u dun take care of urself, nobody can. in SG, one can afford to die but cannot afford to fall ill.

Bro pool the followings are my answers to your questions
1) 36 years . I got this illness for 4 years.
2) My grandparents have it. My parents dun. So it skip one generation. Lifestyle plays a part . It trigger the diabetes which is inside me all along.
3) Well I am overwight. By 30 kg. So far I have lost 12 kg. So plenty of kilos to shed.
4) Please see No 2.
5) Now my motto of living is to eat to live and not live to eat . I have to eat moderately in small amount. I have to eat less carbo and drink plenty of water . I get dehydrate easily. After that I need to go to loo frequently too. Vice versa its difficult to control the situation.
6) Now my drink is always kosong . I have not been drinking coke for 4 years liao. No prata, chicken rice or briyani.
7) About saltish that is related to HBP. Nothing concern to diabetes.
I hoped the above will answer to your questions bro Pool.
