Not famous but historical: hatshepsut is rumoured to have had diabetes, which is one of the longest ruling female pharaohs.

So the forum could, infact, be jam packed with celebrities?! That's going to be playing on my mind every time I see a new/introduction post - "are you Tom Hanks?!"

I actually love this thread though, at least 3/4 of the people named above, I had no idea were diabetics!
 
I'm famous......in my own tiny little world.
 
Sue Cleaver, Eileen in Corrie, type 2
Morgan Freeman

It is good that a celebrity could come on here, hidden from us but they can be themselves without getting hassle
