9.Sherri Shepherd
The actress and former co-host of The View said even after she was diagnosed with diabetes, it took her a while to change her pasta-heavy diet. Eventually she discovered vegetables without sauce and oatmeal without brown sugar. She cut out fried foods and white bread, too. A healthy diet combined with exercise helped her lose weight and feel a lot better.
10.Randy Jackson
The former American Idol judge learned he had type 2 diabetes in 2001. Back then, Jackson was obese, which makes type 2 diabetes more likely. Jackson was also at risk because diabetes ran in his family, and African-Americans are more likely than whites to get the condition. Jackson underwent gastric bypass surgery, lost 100 pounds, improved his diet, and made exercise — including walking on a treadmill and practicing yoga — a staple of his life.
