Diabetes runs in my family, so I know it sucks. Hope he can keep it under control.PEORIA, Ariz. – David Wells' life changed two weeks ago when he learned he has Type 2 diabetes, also called adult-onset diabetes.
“Obviously, this is a concern,” the Padres' 43-year-old pitcher said yesterday. “But it's beatable. And I'm going to beat it. It's going to take some lifestyle changes. And I'm already making them.
“From the time I found out, I made changes. No more starches and sugar. No more rice, pasta, potatoes and white bread. No more fast food. I've cut out alcohol.”
