Stars with Diabetes

After losing more than 80 pounds in 2010, comedian Drew Carey revealed that he had been battling type 2 diabetes. Carey — who had once weighed over 260 pounds — was able to shed the weight and keep it off through a combination of low-carb dieting and regular cardio exercise. While there is no cure for diabetes, diet and exercise play a crucial role in minimizing the risk of health complications. Carey’s transformation was so effective that he has been able to stop taking his medication (with his doctor’s knowledge) and rely on diet and exercise alone to manage his diabetes.
