TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Can you name some famous people with diabetes? I know a few: Mary Tyler Moore (of course), Bret Michaels... They don't have to be movie stars, maybe sports figures, authors, musicians, singers, NASCAR...?

Who was the actress that played on Designing Women with the blond hair? She too has diabetes.

I thought of him too, when I was first diagnosed. He is like the icon for diabetes.

My 5 year old (who is T1) goes nuts when he sees this commercial. He gets all huffy stating: "Its Diabetes, NOT DIABEETUS!". He does the same thing if someone says Pokeman instead of PokemOn. Perhaps a bit of OCD to go along with the T1.

Stan Laurel was diagnosed with Type 2 in 1949
