I forgot about her! Didn't she claim to have cured herself? Indiana x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think you're right. She was diagnosed T1 and apparently weened herself off insulin ? Not sure if she is back on it now or if she was misdiagnosed and is possibly T2 ?
Steve Dixon (newsreader) & Amelia Lily (singer) both have type 1, pinched it from the following: http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Celebrity-Supporters/
That's right! I thought it was something like that. I remember all the hype about it, she got a lot of people's hopes up Indiana x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Stan Laurel.. I read something about Poison singer Bret Michaels in Kerrang magazine interveiw about 25 years ago regarding a song on their album that came out at the time.. It was an "ode" to a dead roadie that used to run a around after Bret picking up the pieces regarding his diabetes control.. The poor roadie wasn't just lugging cabs, he was thinking like a pancreas too.... Yep, I was "militant" back then too & found Bret's article irritating at the time.... To say the least..!
I thought Tom Hanks was type 2 as well . . . but apart from Steve Redgrave, these were all unknown to me!
Steve Redgrave was diagnosed T2 but I believe had to inject insulin due the demands of his 6000 calories a day diet.
I believe Steve is on a insulin pump, he went on insulin because he needed to consume something like 6000 calories a day when he was at the height of his career.
I've spent my whole diabetic life (pretty much my whole life) seeing him as a type 1 role model!! I feel like I've been lied to! Hahaha!! Indiana x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
