Did anyone develop high blood sugar/ diabetes because of excessive masturbation ? Please help

  1. I'd also recommend taking a zinc supplement which has vitamin c in it since it helps with the absorption of zinc. It has also been proven by medical studies that zinc boosts the testosterone levels of men with low testosterone within a few months of taking it. Great stuff.

    Very true @ArduousPath , that is why zinc deficiency causes low testosterone, zinc is needed to manufacture testosterone in the body. The reason why PMO addicts have low testosterone is because of the zinc they lose each time they ejaculate, without zinc, you can't produce testosterone. I tested it myself with blood tests. After two weeks of zinc supplementation, my testosterone levels went up. Zinc is very crucial.

    One thing I noticed is that COFFEE is very bad for those in the nofap journey, it also tends to give me intense urges. I feel like caffeine undo the whole reboot process because it raises cortisol and andrenaline. I decided to throw all the coffee bags I have in the house. I won't have coffee again until I am totally cured.

    @Adamshuwadamboa Please stay in touch on this forum ... I wanna report to you that I've been cured as well... It's weird that I started this thread years ago knowing the cure of my condition and I still am not cured while others who joined got cured ... it's really sad but I'm full of willpower right now and lots of motivation, I am water fasting as well. I will report once I'm fully cured.. is nofap still a struggle for you or have you completely overcome the addiction ? I am so thankful that I don't drink or smoke knowing how hard an addiction can be. I will never touch a cigarette, alcohol, drugs in my life. PMO just taught me how serious addiction is. I feel sympathy for other addicts , not just in PMO but any other addiction, it can really be a struggle. @Adamshuwadamboa

    Guys do you have such a symptom like profuse urination at night? Is it symptom of diabetes? I don’t drink water/tea before going to bed, but wake twice at night to go to pee. Is there any way to ease the suffering?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/g1mbqi/anecdotal_evidence_for_the_supplementation_of/

    I was browsing posts on reddit and I realized that other people are aware of the correlation between Diabetes and Zinc deficiency. The reddit post which can be accessed by the link above show that the OP's mother who is Type 2 diabetic started supplementing with Zinc when the Coronavirus pandemic started since it was a recommendation to keep the immune system strong. 2 weeks after supplementing with zinc, her blood sugars improved drastically. She had been diabetic for 20 years struggling with high blood sugar.

    I totally believe that Zinc is the answer for many type 2 diabetics. So many PMO addicts are deficient in this mineral which is very important for testosterone production, insulin signaling, producing insulin and insulin sensitivity over all. That is why after a long streak HARD MODE, our blood sugars start to normalize because of the zinc level being restored in the body. Zinc is the main mineral lost when you O.

    Zinc is much better absorbed on an empty stomach just so you guys know, taking it with food is not as well absorbed .... Taking it on an empty stomach can really speed up the process. Some zinc supplements can give you nausea if you don't take it with food. The supplement I am taking is very gentle on the stomach and I don't need food to take it.

    Thank you for this added information! I am more convinced than ever that ejaculation without the purpose of making a baby is bad for our health.

    @Davidphd1866 Are you taking zinc while on nofap ? Zinc benefits are only noticed when you abstain from ejaculating for a couple of weeks at least since it takes some days to build up your zinc stores ... If you take it while PMOing, you won't notice anything because you are still wasting it. Taking with while abstaining for at least 2 weeks or 3 is what is needed to see benefits

    Yes, indeed I am taking zinc supplements. And I have been for some time. I swear that conserving my semen and zinc and other various health habits have left me feeling excellent. My blood pressure is as follows:

    Zero medication: about 130/85
    10mg Benazepril: about 120/80
    20mg Benazepril: about 110/70

    Blood sugar around 100.

    The HUGE factor is my "HOMA ir" is less than 1.0. This measures insulin resistance . An excellent score.

    A year ago, masturbating like crazy, I had terrible numbers.

    Stack, you are right on the money here.

    I think the best way to describe my blood sugar is that my A1C was 6.4 and with dietary changes and reduced (I wish it was zero) masturbation and ejaculation it is now 5.4.

    I'd say my symptoms are all in the normal range. Cured? Hard to say, I think everything would come roaring back if I became a frequent masturbator again.

    @Davidphd1866 How long did that change take ? Your A1C is in the normal range now. You should strive for NO PMO until you are totally cured, then you can live a normal sex life like other people without dealing with an addiction. I'm very happy for you. I'm working on myself right now hoping to report some good news soon too.

    @db2018, This is the zinc product I'd recommend you to take.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017L2H4EY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    It's very gentle on the stomach even if you take in on an empty stomach.
    I strongly recommend intermittent fasting which is much easier than water fasting .. You will basically eat in the evening only until your zinc stores/ blood sugars have stabilized.

    Take 1 pill of 25 mg of zinc on an empty stomach (7am)
    Take another 1 pill at 11am (empty stomach)
    Take another one at 3pm (empty stomach)
    Then after 6pm and later, you can eat all you want .... This will also help you fight urges by having an empty stomach all day long ... the last thing that will be on your mind is PMO because you will be thinking about food.

    Remember, for this to work, you have to be in absolute HARD MODE, no PMO or release whatsoever. Allow the zinc stores to build in you ... I would say that after 3 weeks, you should see a big difference, even sooner ... Keep doing this hard mode until you sugars have stabilized. It will not work if you do this while relapsing. The key is to get that zinc back up to where it should be while it heals the damages that its deficiency has caused in your body.

    Note: Drink zinc with a lot of water, it may make you feel nauseous if you don't. Only take one pill. then wait for another 4 hours to take another on an empty stomach.

    I'd say it took a full year of minimal masturbation and diligent dietary effort to get the numbers in line. Maybe more like two years.

    and I agree, I have to get to 100% on the NoFap to find a fully cured state.

    I'm hearing about water fasting first time. I'll search more about it. And then plan to do it.

    I was diabetic and got cured after a good program. The kind of diabetes over masturbation is causing is a temporary false diabetes in which your blood sugar levels get elevated due to the elevated cortisol levels. For the people, who have the diabetes, I can suggest with big confidence to read a good article. It is https://healthlvl.com/diabetes-freedom-review/, there I found a program which helped me to cure this disease. I held all the treatments strictly what I recommend you to make the same.

    this room has been quite for months now, @stack85 let us know your story after the water fasting
     
  20. if you mean that i have super low energy which spikes totally random, that i need to drink a lot of water and that i often feel tired, then yes.

    I don't have these symptoms on long streaks might have something to do with it.
