Tour de Cure Focus on Stars With Diabetes

As the Tour de Cure draws closer and training continues, I'm thinking about all those affected by diabetes.  I'm riding for Big Vinny of Trailer Choir, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes over a year ago.  But he's not the only one who had the disease.  A number of stars, from actors to athletes are living with diabetes too.  Some you may be surprised to learn have or had the disease.
