13 Celebrities Who Have Gotten Real About Their Diabetes Diagnoses

Salma Hayek was diagnosed with gestational diabetes while pregnant with her daughter Valentina in 2007. However, she wasn't sure whether her symptoms were actual red flags or just normal symptoms of early pregnancy. "I got gestational diabetes, which I didn't realize at first," she explained to Parents in 2008. "I didn't know whether I was feeling bad because I was pregnant or whether something was seriously wrong." Her main symptoms included unusual weight gain and nausea, per Diabetes WA. In an effort to avoid a subsequent type 2 diabetes diagnosis, she made some significant lifestyle changes like doing more yoga, trying weight training, and eating a healthier diet.
