Singapore – Labis na ikinalungkot ni Sam Milby ang resulta ng kanyang general checkup sa Singapore kamakallan.
Napag-alamang the Kapamilya singer-actor has Type 1.5 diabetes.
Ang sinasabing Type 1.5 diabetes ay nagtataglay ng pinaghalong Type 1 and 2.
Sa kaso ni Sam, mismong siya ang nagsabing he was intially diagnosed with Type 2 which will eventually turn into Type 1.
Specifically, ang sa kanya’y LADA o Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults.
Inamin niya na with Type 1.5 ay hindi raw nagpo-produce ng insulin ang kanyang pancreas.
Kaya isa sa mga araw daw na ito’y magsisimula na siyang mag-take ng insulin shots.
Isang fan kasi ang nag-message sa kanya na duda sa inisyal na diagnosis sa kanya na Type 2, that’s why he had to consult his endo.
Binanggit din ni Sam si Gary Valenciano who is Type 1–worst type.
“Ganoon talaga, it’s part of my life,” may acceptance na sabi ni Sam.
For now, he needs to be physically on the go–engaging himself in playing pickleball that serves as his cardio exercise.
Under strict watch din daw ang kanyang food intake.
“I also run…but the big help comes from the food that I choose to eat now,” aniya referring to shiratake rice and shiratake pasta which are just as yummy. Ronnie Carrasco III
