Which Celebrity Claims to Have Cured Type 1 Diabetes?
Halle Berry cured her diabetes?
Since November is American Diabetes Month, the media is spotlighting celebrities with Diabetes in an attempt to show that people, no matter the color, shape or economical status are being affected by diabetes.
ABC News: Stars Battling Diabetes is piece on the ABC News site which spotlights 14 celebrities throughout history which have battled diabetes. The site gives a picture of the celebrity along with a brief history of when they were diagnosed with diabetes.
One celebrity’s story really popped out from the rest… this celebrity claims to have cured type 1 diabetes.
Halle Berry has made claims that she was able to cure herself of type 1 diabetes. How did she do this? By weening herself off of insulin. Gosh, it’s so easy. How did all of those doctors miss the cure? Just ween the patient off of insulin. It makes sense.
Except that type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin and so once you slowly weened down their insulin dose to zero…they would die. Except for that little detail I would say that Halle Berry is onto something here.
So what was the response to Halle Berry’s statement from doctors in this country? Impossible, type 1 diabetes has no cure. It is possible, the doctors say, that Halle Berry actually had type 2 diabetes which a person can overcome. If she was smart enough to figure out how to cure diabetes, wouldn’t she be smart enough to know which type she had? You would think.
Other than the claims of curing type 1 diabetes, the ABC piece was great. It is pretty interesting to find out some of the celebrities which live with diabetes and some of the things that they have done to support awareness of this disease. Some of the celebrities on the list include:
- Halle Berry – Self proclaimed diabetes curer
- Delta Burke – Leader of the Let’s Talk Campaign
- Dick Clark – Strives to raise awareness of the link between diabetes and heart disease
- Mary Tyler Moore – Chairperson of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
- Della Reese – Spokesperson for Glaxo Smith Kline’s Stronger Than Diabetes
Diabetes has been around for a long time but since the year 2000, it has caught the attention of everyone in this country as becoming an epidemic. The purpose of American Diabetes Month is to raise awareness not only about the epidemic we are dealing with but also to show that with education diabetes can be avoided.

I was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year which nearly killed me and again two month ago no matter what I eat or drink I can’t get my blood sugars lower than 200. Which is frighterning to me I also can’t afford all the meds I’m on I was looking for help from the state but they are and have made hard for me. I’ve been searching the web to find help with my prescriptions and medical help I can’t keep going through these problems with my help, like this last time I couldn’t eat or drink anything for three weeks it started out with food poisiong bacteria from the soup from my job, a potassium dificiantcy which bumped heads with my diabetes. I have type 2 diabetes and I’m running out of my medications and my job doesn’t pay enough to wheres I can afford it myself.

I assume Keisha that you are under medical supervision?
Is there a state or local program where you can help with your prescriptions?

Keisha, Here’s another place to get help with prescriptions:
Partnership for Prescription Assistance
https://www.pparx.org/Intro.php
1-800-4PPA-NOW
Also, call your local Health Dept. They should be able to let you know what programs are available in your area. Some medications may be available directly through them.
Call you local hospitals. Ask for the endocrinolgy department. Tell them your situation, and ask if they know where you can get some help. Also, sometimes hospitals offer free seminars on living with diabetes.
Stress is a major factor in the increase in blood sugar levels. Watch what you eat, exercise, and try to keep your stress levels down. Those factors will help lower your levels.
Hope that you will be able to get the help you need.

Diabetes is real nasty, I lost a niece to it. She was 30
and had it since she was 15. Witnessed friends who lost their limbs too.
Since then, I heard of Dbethics, a natural health supplement from Switzerland> Many friends have managed to reduce their blood sugar level. Heard of cases
of reversal. Well the doctors say it is impossible.
I like to post one of the testimonies
I was diagnosed with severe diabetes in year 2002. I was given Glucophage and have been taking that regularly ever since. However, much to any disappointment my sugar level has not improved much. In 2005, I was diagnosed with cataract as a result of my diabetes. My renal functions also gone down dramatically and it affected my cholesterol and uric acid readings. I was advised to go on Dbethics from a family friend and took it on good faith for the past 4 months. To my surprise, my insulin levels stabilized and I feel much better now. I don’t feel lethargic and sick like I used to. Thank you, Dbethics.

Halle Berry is probably still Type 1 (but because she is pregnant her body has naturally adjusted because of pregnancy… see this link which is really interesting). I bet as soon as she’s had her baby she will suddenly “become diabetic again”…

Halle Berry dares to confront her diabetes. It is important to watch our diet, have moderate exercise reduce your blood glucose naturally to avoid side effects that come with taking drugs.
Let’s unite to fight Diabetes !
see http://www.springwell.biz to see those who have overcome diabetes and manage to control their blood glucose level naturally.

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes in 1999 which I controlled with diet, exercise, medication and over the next couple years the medicine didnt work as well and it developed into type I which now its insulin dependent and my doctor says its type I and no longer type II
in the above article this disturbed me
“Except that type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin and so once you slowly weened down their insulin dose to zero…they would die. Except for that little detail I would say that Halle Berry is onto something here.”
I assumed a person that is insulin dependent and slowly started taking less insulin would start wasting as what my doctor described it as when I was diagnosed because no nutrients or glucose from food were being used from a lack of insulin and it was all passed out of the body
unless thats what is meant in the article and that a person wouldnt die from a lack of insulin in itself, could someone comment on this?

I have type 2 diabetes myself. I’m lucky in that I only have to take medication to control my blood sugar. I live in California, and here, the Medicaid program is called MediCal, which in conjunction with Medicare, takes care of all my medical needs, including medication. For those who are not fortunate enough to have Medi-Medi, I would suggest contacting directly the drug company who makes the drug you are prescribed: there are more than a few who have programs to either give you your medication free of charge, or at a lower cost than at a pharmacy.

You have a great blog here, I was looking for Halle Berry and ended up here, great work you’ve done on this topic.
I would like to recommend a great website so you can have another view different from mainstream stablishment funded by drug corporations that tells you that only drugs are the way to go on diabetes.

It bothers me to hear anyone ever say “Impossible”. Everything you see, from the car you drive to the tv you watch, to the hair spray you use…was once thought impossible. There IS a cure to Diabetes. It’s closer to us than you think.
Keep smiling…it’s contagious.

Time to take Action
Many with diabetes develop
some form of complication over time.
This results in poor health and quality
of life, leading to unemployment and
a myriad of financial, emotional and
psychological problems. Seb Thiam
diabetes counsellor, says it is time
to stop making excuses and take action.
