On June 3, 2020, Uzi, who was only 23 years old, chose to retire, saying that he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and due to work reasons, he was stressed for many years, eating irregularly, staying up late, and his weight could not be controlled, and his body did not allow him to continue to play.

In a documentary about Uzi, he drank more than a dozen bottles of water a day because of diabetes, three or four times more than everyone else; his toes hurt and he didn't get better for 3 months.

This is in line with the typical symptoms of diabetes: polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and skin wounds that do not heal easily.

Young people may think that diabetes is a disease that only the elderly get, far away from themselves. It's actually terrifyingly close.

For every 10 Chinese adults, there is 1 diabetic; for every 3 Chinese adults, there is 1 prediabete.

What is even more dangerous is that according to BMJ's epidemiological report last year, about 20.2% of young people aged 18 to 29 are in prediabetes.

This means that one in five young people in their twenties has suffered from impaired blood sugar regulation.

Contemporary young people are experiencing overtime, staying up late, sitting for a long time, and eating irregularly every day, each of which may be the cause of diabetes.

Diabetes is like a Pandora's box, with more than 100 complications that can lead to serious consequences such as blindness, foot disability, kidney failure and more. The earlier the onset of the disease, the sooner sugar control should begin. Decades-long blood glucose management is a very cruel thing.

Each of us should have the awareness of preventing diabetes.
