Part 11: Managing Stress and Diabetes

My people, let’s talk about something we often ignore stress. You may not know, but stress alone can push your sugar level up, even if you don’t eat much sugar.

Think about it: overthinking, lack of sleep, constant shouting, working round the clock, all these quietly damage the body.

I once knew a business owner who worked from morning till night, sometimes sleeping only 3 hours a day. He used to brag, “I don’t take Coke or sweet things.” Yet, when he checked, his sugar level was high. Why? Stress had already scattered his system.

Please hear me well, life is only one. Don’t let stress finish you before your time.

Learn to👇

✅ Rest — your body is not a machine.

✅ Laugh — joy is medicine.

✅ Pray and stay calm.

✅ Talk to loved ones — don’t carry burden alone.

✅ Sometimes, switch off your phone and sleep. The world won’t end.

Remember, stress may not show on the outside immediately, but inside, it’s shaking the foundation. Protect your health, because peace of mind is part of good living. 💚

Part 10: Exercise and Diabetes Prevention

My people, let’s clear one common mistake. Anytime people hear “exercise,” the first thing that comes to mind is gym membership or bodybuilding. But let me tell you the truth — exercise simply means moving your body.

👉🏽 A 30-minute brisk walk in your street.
👉🏽 Dancing to your favorite gospel or Fuji music until sweat shows.
👉🏽 Doing house chores with energy, not dragging leg like snail.

All these count as exercise.

I know one man who used to say, “Gym is for rich people.” But when diabetes came knocking, his hospital bills became richer than any gym fee. My people, prevention is always cheaper than cure.

So I ask you honestly, apart from waka up and down inside the house, how do you move your body daily? Remember, exercise is not punishment, it’s one of the cheapest medicines for good health.

Simple Exercises for Diabetes Prevention

You don’t need a gym before you move your body. Try these👇

👉Walk briskly for 30 minutes daily

👉Dance to your favorite Islamic Azkar, gospel or Fuji music

👉Skip rope (even 5–10 minutes counts)

👉Do house chores with energy

👉Ride a bicycle (stationary or outside)

👉 Play with your kids, running, chasing, anything fun.

Remember, the goal is movement, not muscles. Stay active, stay healthy💚

Don’t wait for sickness to force you. Start small today, your body will thank you later💚

You're not showing me love again? Haba Don't be stingy na😂, you see this information I'm sharing is premium. Oya share with loved ones and let us all be informed

Part 9: Food and Diabetes – The Connection

My people, let’s be practical today. We Nigerians love food well well, rice in the morning, eba in the afternoon, yam at night. On top of that, we wash it down with chilled soft drink. But let’s face it, the body is not a dumping ground. When we overload it with these foods every day, the blood gets flooded with sugar.

Let me give you gist. One uncle I know used to say, “I can’t sleep unless I eat swallow late at night.” Guess what? Today, his doctor told him, “Stop all those late-night swallows.” And the man said, “So what will I eat now?” Imagine waiting until sickness begins to dictate what you can and cannot eat.

My people, wisdom is better than cure. Nobody is saying you should throw swallow away, no! But let’s learn to control portion and balance it with vegetables. Instead of 4 wraps of fufu, why not eat just 1 wrap, but make your soup rich with ugu, okra, or ewedu? That way, your body enjoys the food without suffering the overload.

Here are small tips that can help:
✅ Reduce portion of heavy carbs (rice, yam, eba).
✅ Add plenty vegetables to your meals.
✅ Take water instead of soft drinks.
✅ Don’t eat heavy food late at night, give your body rest.

My people, diabetes no dey start in one day o. It’s from the small small food habits we repeat daily. Let’s make smarter swaps 👇🏽

Instead of 4 wraps of fufu ➝ Take 1 wrap + soup full of veggies (ugu, okra, ewedu).

Instead of Coke or Malt ➝ Drink water or zobo without sugar.

Instead of eating heavy food at 10pm ➝ Take light dinner (moimoi, fruits, or pap).

Instead of big plate of white rice ➝ Mix with beans or take smaller portion + salad.

Small changes = big results. 💚 Don’t wait until sickness begins to tell you what you can eat. Start now and let your food be your medicine, not your enemy.

Remember, food is medicine when taken wisely, but poison when abused. The choice is yours 💚

Show me some love if you're getting value abeg, that's what will let me talk about the next part 😂

Stay tuned and stay connected

Part 8: The Role of Family History

My people, let’s talk true. This one na sensitive matter, but we need to face it. Family history plays a big role in diabetes. If your parents or close relatives have it, it doesn’t mean you will surely have it, but it does mean you need to be extra careful.

Let me give you gist. I know a young man whose father had diabetes. Instead of waiting for the sickness to surprise him, he started reducing sugar from his 20s. Today, his sugar level is still normal. But another person I know kept saying, “God forbid, it won’t catch me.” He never checked himself, until one day, it was too late.

Family history is like seeing dark clouds in the sky. You no go just stand there and say, “Rain, God forbid.” You go pick umbrella, abi?
That’s how it should be with diabetes, if it runs in your family, wisdom demands you prepare and protect yourself.

Here are simple steps if diabetes runs in your family👇

✅ Eat more fiber foods (vegetables, beans, whole grains).

✅ Cut down on sugary drinks and snacks.

✅ Exercise at least 30 minutes daily (walking counts).

✅ Sleep well and manage stress.

✅ Check your blood sugar once a year (or more if advised).

So ask yourself now:
👉🏽 Does anyone in my family have diabetes?

👉🏽 If yes, what steps am I taking to stay healthy?

Remember, awareness is not fear.

It’s wisdom. Early lifestyle changes and regular checks can keep you safe. 💚

Part 7: Signs of Diabetes You Shouldn’t Ignore

My people, let’s gist small but let it sink well. Diabetes no dey come with big grammar at first, the signs can look like everyday normal things.
That’s why many people wave them off until it’s too late.

Now ask yourself honestly:
👉🏽 Are you always thirsty, drinking water as if your throat no dey ever satisfy?
👉🏽 Do you urinate too much, especially at night, disturbing your sleep?
👉🏽 Are you eating well, sometimes even plenty food, but still losing weight instead of gaining?
👉🏽 Do small cuts or wounds on your body take forever to heal?

I once knew a woman who kept saying, “It’s just this heat that’s making me drink water like this.” She didn’t know her sugar level was already high. By the time she went for checkup, the sickness had gone far.

Please, don’t brush these things aside with “na my body system.” If you notice them, go and check yourself immediately. Early detection is better than late regret.

Let me tell you the truth: diabetes doesn’t kill immediately, but it quietly damages the body if you ignore it. Your eyes, your kidneys, your heart, all can suffer. That’s why early checkup is not a waste, it’s an investment in your life.

My people, promise me today, if you see any of these signs in yourself or a loved one, go for a test.
Health is wealth, and life sweet when the body dey in balance💯👌

Welcome to Part 6:
Sugar – The Silent Enemy

My people, let’s talk heart to heart today. You see, sugar sweet o, but too much of it is like opening your door wide for sickness. Think about it, every party we go, it’s Coke, Fanta, Malt. Every small snack break, puff-puff, cake, meat pie. We keep saying, “it’s just small” but that small small piles up inside the body until it becomes a big wahala.

I once met a man who told me, “I can’t do without two bottles of soft drink daily.” Today, that same man spends more money on drugs and hospital bills than he ever spent on Coke. That’s the reality, sugar is not poison, but when you take it too much, it behaves like poison in your body.

Let me break it down:
👉🏽 Excess sugar stresses your liver.
👉🏽 It weakens your insulin (the body’s sugar controller).
👉🏽 It turns into fat, which leads to weight gain, tiredness, and diabetes risk.

So let me challenge you: can you go 3 days without any sweet drink or snack? No Coke, no puff-puff, no biscuit, no malt. Just water, fruits, and real food. Try it, then come back here and share your experience in the comments

Remember, I’m not saying don’t take sugar at all, but let’s be wise. Your health is more important than a five-minute sweetness.
