Diabetes question - Halle Berry
I guess all the commercials (and panning) of the new Halle Berry film
Catwoman have got me thinking -- how can someone like Halle Berry, who is in absolutely perfect physical condition, have diabetes? I don't understand it. I thought diabetes was linked to weight, but it obviously isn't in her case. What makes it happen? Is it an unavoidable genetic legacy? -- nimue "If I had created reality television I would have had a much greater influence, but then I would have had to KILL MYSELF." Joss Whedon |

Keeping in shape helps control the diabetes. Works for both Type 1 and Type 2. BJ |

Her body took out its own beta cells so she can't make enough insulin anymore. It's an autoimmune thing. Take care, Carmen |

Have you ever heard of type 1 and type 2? To be honest, I haven't really paid that much attention to it, although it runs in my dad's family. I have heard of juvenile diabetes and adult onset. I heard that juvenile was far deadlier. -- nimue "If I had created reality television I would have had a much greater influence, but then I would have had to KILL MYSELF." Joss Whedon |

Halle Berry is T2 diabetic, and controls it through diet, exercise, stress management and insulin -- as all we T2's could if we were dedicated enough. Here is a short exerpt from www.diabetesmovies.com: "While filming Living Dolls, Berry collapsed, having entered a diabetes coma. Her doctors noted that stress probably caused the disease to manifest itself early in her life rather than in her later years. Although doctors told her that she would be insulin-dependent the rest of her life, she has improved her health through diet, exercise, meditation, and low-stress activities." -- Peter 270/215/180 Before/Current Pix: http://users.thelink.net/marengo/wei...htlosspix.html |
