Milby announced his diagnosis on his Instagram account on Monday, June 24, while sharing a photo of a blood sugar monitoring kit.
“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,” he said. (I’ve always thought of myself as a healthy person.
I don’t have a sweet tooth. I rarely eat junk food. But last year, I found out that I have Type 2 diabetes.
) A post shared by Sam Milby (@samuelmilby) The actor-singer shared that his parents and grandparents “never had” diabetes, but he hoped that he consulted a doctor about his condition earlier. “My parents and grandparents never had it. I just wish I got checked up earlier nung pre-diabetes pa.
My advice — don’t ignore the symptoms (my main symptoms — always thirsty and urinating often) and get checked up regularly),” he wrote. Milby’s celebrity friends, such as Isabel Oli-Prats, Say Alonzo, Troy Montero, and Christine Babao, wished him well in the comments. Babao also pointed out his high blood sugar while “welcoming him” to the club.
