Sometimes I wonder how many signs we miss before the diagnosis of diabetes comes.How many cases does it happen that in an analysis the triglycerides appeared a little high and the doctor only said to “watch your diet?”Nobody explained that this could be the first step in a chain that ends, if you do nothing, in type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Marco Albuja explains it very clearly: first triglycerides rise, then fatty liver appears, then prediabetes... and if we continue the same, diabetes arrives.There are no sudden jumps, but a downhill slope that begins long before the symptoms are evident.
What I like most about his approach is that he doesn't speak from fear, but from opportunity: that “gray ground” between normal and abnormal, when glucose or A1c is just a little elevated, is the perfect time to change things.Eat better, move more, sleep well, reduce stress... these are simple steps that make a big difference.
I also found your reference to turmeric interesting, with studies that point to benefits on glucose and triglycerides.But, as Albuja himself remembers, no supplement replaces medical treatment or supervision.In my case, I learned that the key is not to look for quick remedies, but to understand what is happening in my body and act in time.
Its final message is simple, but powerful: measure yourself and be on time.If you have high triglycerides or glucose “a little out of range,” don't let it go.Talk to your doctor, ask to have your glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c) checked, and start taking care of those small daily details that can prevent a life-changing diagnosis.
