Diabetes doesn’t start overnight.
It builds silently for 10+ years before diagnosis.
The worst part? Millions already have it and have no clue.
It drains your energy, wrecks metabolism, and stores fat.
Here’s what's happening (and how to spot it early): 🧵
1.
How diabetes really begins
Type 2 diabetes starts as insulin resistance.
Your cells stop responding to insulin.
Sugar stays in your blood instead of being used for fuel.

It triggers belly fat, sugar cravings, and fast exhaustion.
