This is all over the diabetes online community and may have already been posted about on here, but I'm going to chime in with my 2 cents.


Have you heard? Halle Berry has managed to cure herself of type 1 diabetes and has beaten it down to type 2 and doesn't need insulin any more.


Isn't that a neat trick?


Perez Hilton even has something on it. You know the diabetes online community is really up in arms if it's being reported on Perez Hilton!


It's been talked almost to death, but I don't understand what Halle Berry's problem is with having diabetes. If she has type 1, is she ashamed of that? If it's type 2, shouldn't she be out there saying "Look! It's not a fat disease! Thin people who eat well and exercise a lot can also get type 2!


Instead she says things like this: "I've managed to ween myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the Type 2 category." Well, you'd better hope you're a Type 2, otherwise, with no insulin, you're going to be a type dead. This is the kind of ignorance I just had to deal with this week. Someone with Halle Berry's high profile should not be saying such stupid things to reporters. If she doesn't know which type of diabetes she has, she needs to find a better doctor. And in the meantime, she needs to shut her mouth.

The statements of the famous actress named Halle Berry is not convincing and absurd. Maybe she doesn't even have diabetes after all. Having a type 1 diabetes is incurable and managing it without insulin is just plain stupid. There are no reports that a type 1 diabetes patient do not need insulin as part of the treatment. Type 1 diabetes is a lot harmful and more complicated than type 2. Insulin injections are a lifetime for the patients. Her statements are false and surely physicians will laugh at her. Maybe she lied to earn public stint or maybe she just doesn't understand diabetes. After all, she's an actress right?

I agree with m.sterling and its also a known fact in kabbalah
