Most people think diabetes appears suddenly. Mine did not. It built up over years, quietly, slowly, and very obviously in hindsight.

Here are the signs I ignored:

• constant thirst
• blurred vision
• unpredictable hunger
• sugar cravings that felt emotional
• exhaustion that sleep could not fix
• brain fog at times I needed clarity
• late night thirst
• mid afternoon crashes

If these sound familiar, do not brush them off like I did.

These are not signs of poor discipline. They are signs of insulin resistance.

Most people think insulin resistance shows up on a blood test. It doesn’t. It shows up in your life first.

The science is clear. Diabetes develops 7 to 10 years before diagnosis. Your body whispers long before it breaks.

My wake up call came when I missed the Northern Lights in Iceland because my vision was too foggy to see them.

That was the moment I realised my body had been warning me for months.

Here is the good news. The earlier you catch insulin resistance, the faster you can reverse it.

A few things that helped me:

• walking after meals
• eating only foods under 5% carbohydrate content
• reducing evening eating
• managing stress
• creating a consistent routine

If these symptoms feel familiar, you are not alone. You do not need to wait for a diagnosis.

This is what I help people with every day. If you want support building the structure to reverse insulin resistance and protect your long term health, book a call with me.
