Early in Halle Berry’s Hollywood career she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Now, she is telling people that thanks to a healthy lifestyle and good diet she has reversed those symptoms and can now be reclassified as a type 2 diabetic. There is one only problem with her nonsensical statements. As the pancreas is technically destroyed in a type 1 diabetic and they are unable to produce insulin, the process cannot be reversed through diet and exercise. Medically speaking, at this point, it cannot be reversed at all.
However, she is claiming the impossible and pissing off plenty of experts along the way. Experts are saying that she has confused several other diabetics by making these unfounded, illogical claims.
A Diabetes Specialist Says:
“If you come off insulin, then you were always a Type 2. She is feeding into all the confusion in the world.”

I am terribly upset to hear that Halle Berry used the phrase “wean off of insulin”. When a person is Type 1, it doesn’t matter if they never eat another carb again, they still need insulin, like my husband. Their body will never produce insulin. Thats why it is called the “autoimmune” type. This sends the wrong message to many diabetics. I hope none of her fans get sick because Halle Berry is a very uneducated diabetic. Please have someone release some kind of statement saying that she was wrong saying what she said. We don’t want people dying thinking they can “wean themselves off of insulun”.
ok she needs to work on being all naterial
