Diabetes in TV and the Movies

Say Steel Magnolias to someone with diabetes and visions of Julia Roberts (a.k.a. Shelby) spitting orange juice immediately come to mind. Diabetes has been portrayed in a wide variety of ways in the movies and on television - some painfully bad and some remarkably accurate. This Sunday on dLifeTV, Aida Turturro of The Sopranos and Dorian Gregory (Soul Train, Charmed) join us for a look at diabetes in the entertainment world - the good, the bad, and the ugly. dLifeTV airs at 7:00 PM ET on CNBC (complete air schedule here).

In the meantime, check out Amy Tenderich's newest dLife article - "Reality, TV, and Diabetes," and explore our list of movies that address diabetes.
