Jim Turner

Jim Turner, Comedian

Actor-comedian Jim Turner was 17 years old when he was diagnosed with type 1 in 1970. He tells Scott King about the "death row meal" of ice cream, cake and pie he consumed the day before he began injecting insulin - a meal that shot his blood sugar level to 1,500. And so begins the story of his life since then, including "stumbling into acting," a stay at a filthy hospital in rural Italy where they tried "to starve the diabetes out of me," a brush with fame as a TV sitcom star, and work as a comedian for MTV and live stage productions. Turner, whose A1c is 5.9, also describes his daily diabetes regimen, agreeing with King that everybody experiences and manages the disease differently.
