I used to be a person who didn't know anything about diabetes until one day, I was diagnosed in the hospital and found out that I had diabetes. This surprised me a lot, because I have a very healthy lifestyle, I hardly have a sweet tooth, and I exercise a lot. Later, I gradually learned that the symptoms of diabetes are not always obvious, and some may even lead you to mistake it for something else. 
I remember one time, I was working in the office, and I suddenly felt a tingling in my feet, I thought it was caused by poor blood circulation after sitting for a long time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, the next day, the symptoms did not go away, but became more severe. That's when I started to wonder if I had diabetes. Later, I confirmed my suspicions after a check-up at the hospital. Why do I have diabetes?I began to reflect on my habits. I found that although I don't have a sweet tooth, I really like to drink ice water, especially in the hot summer. I also like to stay in an air-conditioned room, and sometimes I even feel that after staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, even the sunlight outside becomes dazzling. I started looking up and found out that one of the symptoms of diabetes was numbness in my legs. This surprised me a lot because I always thought that only poor circulation would make people feel numb. Later, I learned that this is because the insulin secretion in the diabetic patient's body is insufficient, which leads to an increase in blood sugar, which affects the normal metabolic function of the body, making the body's ability to produce heat decrease, thus making people feel numb. 
I started to adjust my lifestyle habits to minimize the number of ice water I drank and try to stay in a warm environment. I also started to learn how to control my blood sugar and how to keep it stable through diet and exercise. I also started to pay attention to my physical condition, and if I had symptoms such as numbness and tingling in my feet, I would immediately go to the hospital for a check-up. I also learned how to measure my blood sugar correctly and how to adjust my diet and exercise according to the level of my blood sugar. Now, I am able to control my blood sugar very well and cope with the symptoms of diabetes. I no longer feel numb in my legs, and I no longer worry about my physical condition. I would like to tell you that numbness in the legs is not necessarily caused by poor blood circulation, but can also be caused by metabolic diseases such as diabetes. If you find yourself feeling numbness in your legs often, especially at night, then you should be aware that it could be a sign of diabetes. If you can detect diabetes early, then you have more opportunities to control your diabetes and avoid the various complications that come with diabetes. Let's pay attention to our physical condition together, let's prevent diabetes together, and let's live a healthy life together!
