Baldwin vowed to shed weight after pre-diabetic diagnosis
Newly-slim Alec Baldwin vowed to lose weight after he was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic last year.
The 30 Rock star has been showing off a leaner figure in recent months after eliminating sugar from his diet - and now he's revealed it was a serious health scare that inspired him to get fit.
The actor opened up about his medical condition at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, telling Entertainment Tonight reporters he received the diagnosis on 10 May and subsequently changed his eating habits in a bid to stop the onset of full-blown type 2 diabetes.
He also confirmed he has shed 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) of weight since giving up sweet treats.

Michael it's actually true. My husband was given this info and told to lose weight. He was also developing high cholesterol levels. His revised eating regime has helped a great deal. Late onset diabetis is usually treated by changing your eating habits anyway. Therefore this is not new info anyway.
