Sherri Shepherd was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2007 and she just revealed her medical results indicate she’s beating the disease! The daytime host embraced a sugar-free keto diet in March 2018 and after her last visit to the doctor, it seems her process has been working. Scroll for more details.
Sherri, 52, posted a video and revealed, “The doctor excitedly said ‘OHMYGOD what did you do? You’re not even prediabetic!’” The comedian’s blood pressure and blood sugar levels both dramatically decreased from what they were from 2016 to 2018.
She boasted, “I know these numbers are because I have been off #sugar since March 2018.”
“When my son Jeffrey asked, ‘Mommy if you die who’s going to be my bodyguard’ I knew I had to make lifestyle changes or I would die,” she wrote. In the video she posted, Sherri listed all the diabetic members in her family, including her mom and aunt who suffered fatal complications.
