Everyone knows Drew Carey as the funny, chubby guy from The Drew Carey Show. However, just recently, Carey decided to change his physical appearance, claiming his large size was truly a burden.

"It sucks being fat, you know," said Carey, last Wednesday at the CBS, Showtime and The CW TCA Party in Beverly Hills. "I was diabetic with Type-2 diabetes.”

Little Jonas recently teamed up with the pharmaceutical company Bayer to promote a new blood-sugar meter device.

The teen singer, who has been battling against diabetes since he was 13, appeared on a TV ad, playing his guitar while promoting Bayer’s new digital device. The device has a built-in convenient USB port and promises to help track glucose levels over the course of a day.

Nick was told he had Type 1 diabetes and his brother Joe commented, “it was the scariest thing ever.” Joe remembered that, “we went swimming one day and I could see his back and bones.”

It all starts with a sigh. Owen’s two sons think their daddy is going to get diabetes and that his legs will fall off - they were told as much about people with diabetes at school. While this story builds on the overarching issue of Owen’s overeating and the underlying issues that cause it - this week he claims it’s a “control issue” - the trust between a father and his son is more at the heart of this episode, and the decision dreaded by all men “of a certain,” if you will, to eat healthier.
