Ok, so I was correct a few weeks back when I wrote about Halle Berry being a type 2 diabetic. And it seems that even though she has been a type 2 diabetic for quite some time, it doesn’t mean she is a very swift diabetic… It seems that Ms. Berry has ticked off many diabetics in the world.

Take this with a grain of salt. As I have told you before I love celebrity news so I found this while searching one of my fave websites, as embarrassing as it is… Perez Hilton. Yes, I am THAT person.

The actress has been quoted saying that she was a Type 1 diabetic but now she has been able to ween herself off insulin to be a Type 2. SOMETHING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

 

Pregnant HALLE BERRY is winning her battle with diabetes, thanks to a healthy diet and good living. The actress was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after she passed out while shooting a TV show called Living Dolls when she first arrived in Hollywood. But the disease has now dropped to Type 2 diabetes because Berry is no longer “insulin dependent”. She says, “I’ve managed to ween myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the Type 2 category.”

Man oh man! I am a little disappointed that a beautiful, intelligent actress like Halle Berry would make a HUGE mistake like this. I am hoping that she was just misquoted. Maybe she just has “pregnancy brain”. But none the less, there are pretty upset people out there!

Did you know that Halle Berry was a type 2 diabetic since she was 23 years old? I didn’t. I was reading the good ol’ People magazine tonight and saw the news that she was pregnant. And that man of hers… handsome indeed!

But getting back to the diabetes thing, she was diagnosed almost 20 years ago and has done very well with diet and exercise control. As we all know diabetes puts a crinkle in anything and pregnancy is no different. So I wish her luck in keeping her diabetes under control as her hormones soar into high gear. And we also know that a healthy, happy pregnancy is very possible with diabetes as long as we keep on top of sugar changes and fluctuations as the pregnancy progresses.

Did anyone have any major issues while they were pregnant? Was everything smooth sailing or did you have to change a large amount of your treatment? Believe it or not, I had absolutely no diabetic issues while pregnant with my 3 girls. I was diagnosed after the birth of my youngest. Go figure…
