There is a lot of diabetes about, and fame does not make you immune! Lots of well known people have (or had) diabetes - from Elvis Presley to Mikhail Gorbachev. Twenty seconds with google threw up this list of famous diabetics - I'm sure there are hundreds more.

They are type 2 though which is completeley different from type 1

Halle Berry is type 1.

Apparently Steve Redgrave is type II (according to DUK website - and I can't find any sites that say he's type I) but a good example as he's far from the "fat, lazy" stereotype.

I'd always assumed he was type I having read he went straight onto insulin and now uses a pump, shoots me down in flames lol

I think his problem was that to maintain his gold-medal-winning fitness he had to eat carbs & inject lots of insulin. Then scaling down after his retirement required extreme care. That is the likely reason why he is still on insulin.

I think Dominic Littlewood is, but not sure what type. I don't think that it is something celebs should be ashamed of though!!

Dom Littlewood was on the front of a recent "Balance" I think he's a T1. I can't find my copy to check.
