Halle Berry seems to be very confused.
The actress has been quoted saying that she was a Type 1 diabetic but now she has been able to ween herself off insulin to be a Type 2. SOMETHING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Pregnant HALLE BERRY is winning her battle with diabetes, thanks to a healthy diet and good living. The actress was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after she passed out while shooting a TV show called Living Dolls when she first arrived in Hollywood. But the disease has now dropped to Type 2 diabetes because Berry is no longer “insulin dependent”. She says, “I’ve managed to ween myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the Type 2 category.”
Such an assertion is outraging many diabetics.
Type 1 diabetes means your pancreas is dead. It will never ever work again. You will always need insulin, unless there is a cure.
Type 2 means your pancreas is not dead. It still has life and with proper diet you can live without being on insulin.
No matter how much weight you lose or what you cut out of you diet, you can not change Type 1 diabetes, which is what Berry claims she’s been able to do.
“If you come off insulin, then you were always a Type 2,” a medical expert tells PerezHilton.com. “She is feeding into all the confusion in the world.”
