Stars with Diabetes

Carey has a family history of heart issues (his father died of a heart attack in his forties), and poorly managed diabetes increases the risk of heart issues even further. With his young son as motivation, Carey continued to push himself to be healthier every day. “I was taking [diabetes medication] before and, like, five naps a day, “ Carey said in an interview. “Now I don’t have to take any medication anymore. I feel like I’m aging in reverse.” Beyond being an example of the benefits of diet and exercise, Carey has provided support to multiple health causes, including the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation and the Larry King Cardiac Foundation.
