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

Tell as many excuses as you want, excuses aren’t facts.

 

Yh i had suicidal thoughts, but I knew I could get better.

I mean my mind was the cause of it. I could see results in weeks of Nofap. Dont really need a professional.

 

I've excessive urine & thirst since addictive masturbation but my sugar levels are fortunately okay. Also very mild pain in genital sometimes. I want to see a doctor for these.
However I did contract Celiac disease (autoimmune condition like diabetes) after addictive masturbation. I think addictive masturbation was a trigger to the dormant celiac, but in my view even a trigger is a serious thing, otherwise people live fairly healthy whole life with some or other dormant genetic risks.
For now I'm still struggling with weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, digestive problems & so on.
I won't be surprised if I might have contracted some other autoimmune conditions also after this shitty addiction.

So in your case I guess addictive masturbation might have been a trigger for diabetes. But yeah I won't use the word "cause" here. It's like if someone commits suicide by hanging himself, a 'smart' doctor would say cause of death as "intense pressure on windpipe resulting in choking". Whereas a person who has suffered depression would say the cause of death as "depression".

PS: I noticed one guy here is criticizing other people's experiences. I won't be surprised if he secretly represents either the interests of porn industry or that of big pharma industry. I didn't find any of his post/comment sharing his own experiences with PMO in nofap. There might be many candid people like that in this forum. Outside the forum it's well known that they have been attacking Nofap & it's founder heavily from the start. If you see wikipedia page of Nofap, these guys have spread their propaganda there too.

 

But not physical issues? None whatsoever?

 

Long-term addiction to PMO:

1. Downregulates neurotransmitters (e.g., dopamine and serotonin) - 1, 2, 3, 4
2. Disrupts hormonal balance (e.g., testosterone, prolactin and adrenaline) - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
3. Decreases the volume of grey matter in the brain (prefrontal cortex) - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
4. Reduces the density of androgen receptors - 1
5. Deteriorates mental health - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
6. Exhausts the central nervous system - 1, 2, 3, 4
7. Decreases gastric secretions and induces GI ulceration - 1, 2, 3
8. Disrupts gastrointestinal motility - 1, 2, 3
9. Promotes insulin resistance - 1, 2, 3, 4
10. Leads to sexual dysfunction and decline in sperm counts - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Anybody cured type 2 diabetes with NoFap

 

I absolutely LOVE how you made your citations. Extremely helpful.

 

Very informative and can confirm each point is a fact from my experience. I'm now working with a therapist online to control the masturbation addiction.

 

Having a hard time. Made a lot of mistakes. This is the biggest one. Now diabetes is the big problem. No zest to live.

 

Anybody solved the diabetes problem

 

In a sense, excessive masturbation led to me having a stroke. If you read the Carnes book Out of the Shadows, there's a vignette/profile of a woman addicted to sex that eventually has a heart attack due to the way her obsession made her neglect basic things like sleeping or nutrition.

 

This is beyond laughable.

 

Hlo hows your condition now does you successfully reveres his diabetes and over masturbation side effects

 

Hello,
I have been a silent user of this forum for two months. I signed up just to share my story.
Roughly two months ago i was having excessive urine and extreme thrist problem.
I didn't bother to relate this to diabetes at first because i vape and this can also cause thrist, so i thought maybe the cause of thrist is vaping and i am drinking more water and fluids thats why i am having to urinate that frequently. After few days my eye sight deteriorated and started to feel burning sensation in my feet. This made me worried. Daibetes runs in my family, i have glucose monitor at home so i checked my blood sugar and there it is, it showed 398. Date was 3rd May 2023.
I rushed to my doctor and he asked me to get HBA1C checked and the result was 10.0.
Urine test also showed ketones +++ present. He forced me to get insulin shots but i refused and asked him to suggest meds. He put me on Metformin and Sitagliptin at night and Glimepiride in the morning.
Next day fasting Blood Sugar level was 271 and after breakfast 297.
Second day fasting 185 and after lunch 285.
3rd day fasting 191 and after dinner 344. (On this day i fapped in the afternoon).
4th day fasting 205 and after breakfast 300.
Next two days my fasting blood sugar levels were under 140 and post Prandial under 180.
Next five days fasting under 120 and post Prandial under 170.
On day Eight fasting blood sugar 119 and after lunch it was 206, on this day i also fapped in the morning after breakfast.
This caused me to think that maybe masturbation is causing high blood sugar levels. So i searched the Internet and ended up here on @stack85 thread. I was very stressed due to my condition bcz i am just 31yo and got diabetes but this thread gave me hope and i started to quit fapping. And i did it hard mode till today. After one week of abstinence from pmo the morning dose of Glimepiride started to give me chills and shaking. I got off from this med and continued metformin.
After three more weeks i reduced metformin dose to half and it is seven weeks since i stopped fapping and my fasting blood sugar levels are uder 110 and post Prandial under 160 and i am completely off medications.
My eye sight was better once blood sugar came below 180.
I will get my HBA1C checked again after one month.
Apart from this, i had very bad stomach distension. For more than 2 years i took omeprazole daily due to stomach issues. I also had heart palpitations, anxiety, high cholesterol, uric acid and high sgpt,alt levels and many other problems.
It is just two months that i didn't ejaculate and results are amazing. I am getting very good sleep, very calm heartbeat, good mood, good bowel movement, hopeful in life and stomach issues have been better than ever before. Stiffness on belly got reduced and manboobs are disappearing gradually. I got bright glowing skin i just feel healthy now.
I am grateful to you people who gave me hope and showed me how bad masturbation is. I didn't use any supplements but Apple Cider Vinegar (with mother) throughout this time. I started to masturbate since i was like 12,14 yo, i dont even remember exactly. I lived miserable life after 25 years of age and i am very glad and thankful to God that i have started to heal in very short period of time.
I am never going to masturbate ever in life.
Cheers!

 

What a fantastic testimonial. I am so glad your health is getting better. I, too, believe masturbation and porn contribute to ALL SORTS of health issues. Stay strong!

 

Very happy for you and excited about your progress.

Can you provide a fuller list of symptoms you experienced that you think were associated with PMO? Also, from your post, it is a bit unclear to me to know whether it was the initial fasting or the longer term abstinence that you think helped you more. You state that you started to feel markedly better after 2 months of no ejaculation, right? Would love a little more info. I hope you keep doing well on your journey.

 

@A W A K E I can tell you for more than 15,20 years of my life i masturbated to extreme extent. Let me take you back in time when there was no broadband, 5G, LTE or 3G networks in my country. It was era of Dail Up connections which connected on 44KBP/S speed of Internet maximum and there was no concept of video streaming but only photos. I got into this addiction too early and ever since i lived miserable life. I realised this now when i felt the change.
There is so much to share but i don't know where to start.
Almost 5,6 years ago i had to move to another country and for that reason i did medical tests i still remember my cholesterol levels came high but not too much, liver function tests were also abnormal. I never drink though. I overlooked it. Time passed by and then around 3 years ago one night in winter i masturbated all night for 5,6 hours continuously (Not first time like this though) and went to sleep. After 1 hour of sleep i got up with racing heartbeat and couldn't breath. I had to go out in the open and after 2,3 minutes i got a little better. I thought maybe i had a stroke. I went to er and they did ecg test and everything was normal. Doctors said these are heart palpitations due to anxiety. This continued for few days, i couldn't lay down, if i did i felt as if my breath stopped. The next day after this incident my stomach didn't accept anything. Gas, bloating, heart burn and pain in stomach. Dr said it is Gestro esophageal reflux and suggested to test for H-Pylori. Test came negative.
One day i had diarrhoea and next day constipation. I did everything, like medication, quitting spices, carbonated drinks and even fasting but it didn't help at all. Even water caused me bloating and everything i mentioned.
Then again i had overseas tour for 4 months and didn't masturbate that frequently and my symptoms got better and at that time i thought meds finally worked. I didn't relate the problem with pmo at all. It all happened 1 year ago. My stomach problem and everything i mentioned earlier got much better but not completely healed. I had to take medications some times. (Doctors also gave me blood pressure meds which i didnt use though).
But during this time, the intensity of pmo reduced. Then again evil spirit worked 5,6 months ago from today and i got back to this addiction when i discovered extreme content on darkweb. Symptoms started to come back, this time more intensely.
I felt pain in my groin area, stomach and back. Brain fog, sudden saddness, stress and anxiety. High BP, lack of appetite, lack of concentration, extreme anger, dark spots under eyes, hair loss, man boobs, muscle spasms, fat around middle and trouble sleeping. Sometimes i tried to sleep whole night but couldn't.
Until this time, i couldn't think of relating it to pmo. Then like i said in my previous post about how is discovered i had developed daibetes and its symptoms, dr told me to keep a track of my blood sugar. I checked it and noticed that in a week i masturbated 2 times and my blood sugar levels boosted despite of using medications on those specific days.
I previously searched on Google about the dangers of masturbation but it always gave me green signal. This time i stumbled upon this site and actually related my health issues to this evil habit and decided to finally quit pmo.
15th July 2023 will complete my two straight hardmode months of quitting pmo to be exact. I can eat whatever i want, no stomach issues. I sleep so deep now. Morning wood has been real good. I am trying to reduce the bellyfat also. I am nor obese neither overweight though. My heartbeat is always normal. Good digestion. I haven't tested myself yet for cholesterol and Liver but i can tell its getting better also because whenever i got up in the morning i felt pain in my heels which is symptom of high bad cholesterol and while brushing teeth i had blood come out of my gums which indicates abnormal liver function. There is no pain in heels and no blood in gums now. I also had wave like feeling in my stomach whenever i thought of po*n. Sometimes on social media something elicit shows up but there is no wave like feeling in stomach.
I checked my Blood Sugar yesterday after 45 minutes of eating and the numbers showed 122 which is better than normal. I dont feel dry mouth nor excessive urination neither thrist. I also had developed pruney and wrinkly fingers before which are also getting back to normal.
To everyone out there, i would like to tell you that according to doctors masturbation has positive effects on your health. This is bullsh*t. Science is always in evolutionary process and after a discovery it takes time for it to be accepted. For example, when science discovered, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, it took more than a century to be widely accepted.
Save yourself from pmo and live a better healthy life. We all are men of steel. Give your body a chance to heal and it will heal.
Thankyou! Cheeers

 

I appreciate the in-depth response. I'm so glad that you're finding your way out of the hole you'd dug for yourself. Being a PMO addict is no way to live. The fact that you were able to go without it immediately after finding out how harmful it is is actually really commendable. I say this as someone who has struggled for 15 years. I'm in my mid 30s and I found out when I was about 21 or 22 how potentially harmful PMO is and can be. I guess a part of me never believed it to the full extent because everywhere you look, "porn and masturbation are totally normal and healthy." You're right, it's all bullshit. Science will never catch up to this particular truth, though, because a lot of very powerful people stand to lose a lot of wealth and control if that were ever to happen.

I found the part about eating anything really interesting. I have had various food sensitivities for a long time, since I was about 20 years old. As such, I watch what I eat very carefully. I ONLY eat organic food and I avoid a lot of stuff like dairy and wheat. It's because supposedly I'm gluten intolerant. But I'm European and no one in my family has ever dealt with any of this nonsense. I had thyroid/immune condition and also no one in my family has ever dealt with anything like it even though all the doctors claim "it's genetic." Again, more bullshit. So you can eat anything you want now and you don't feel like it makes you tired or sick? I really hope I can achieve this one day. It would be amazing to be able to eat pizza and pasta again.

I have so many random symptoms that I'm not even going to list them for you. But I'll tell you this. I also went to the ER many times for heart palpitations. Like yours, my tests always came back mostly normal. My symptoms are in line with conditions like POTS or hypoglycemia or adrenal fatigue. It's horrible to have a quality of life like mine. Literally EVERY aspect of my life is affected by my condition. Maybe there is some hope for me like there was for you.
