6. Halle Berry
Actress Halle Berry has had a long, successful career in Hollywood. In 2002, Berry won an Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the only woman of color to win the award, and she has since starred in various films including a role in the X-men franchise, Die Another Day, and was even an executive producer in Kidnap as well as starring in it. While Berry has, and continues to work in the entertainment industry, she suffers from Type 1 Diabetes. Many undermine the severity of the disease, probably because it’s so common. But what people don’t realize is how dangerous it is if their blood sugar level drops too low. In 1989, Berry went into a diabetic coma during the taping of Living Dolls. She was later diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Like other celebrities, Berry has not let her medical condition to stop her from working. Along with publicly talking about her disease, Berry is a volunteer for the Juvenile Diabetes Association.
