Interesting. I always try to err on the side of caution with things "we know" to be true because every year, it seems, there's some shit that science shows we were wrong about for decades or more. Maybe you're like me and have skirted the line as pre diabetic? That's what it has showed for me since I started getting tested regularly in my 20s. My blood glucose bounces between 95-110 or so with my fasting labs.

After COVID, I started to notice body changes in myself with the prolonged lack of social activity. I stopped being able to tolerate extreme temps as much as I used to be able to handle, especially extreme heat. I noticed I started to sweat more, like a lot, lot more, when previously I had not sweat that much. I was having issues with shaking and twitches and muscle weakness when doing things as simple as picking up my child (born in December 2019). My arms and legs fell asleep more frequently than they used to. I also stopped being able to remember, talk good like and stuff, and would sometimes lose my train-of-thought mid-sentence, for instance. Generally, just noticing changes that I knew were out of the ordinary.

When I threw those things into ChatGPT (back a year or more ago, now), it immediately said my symptoms appeared to be MS, which I had suspected, though not prompted the generative AI to confirm. I gave it a list of new symptoms, no matter how attached they appeared, and it spit that out. Many symptoms of MS overlap with diabetes, including bladder function, vision issues, and numbness/tingling in extremities. The human body is so weird!
