Yvette Nicole Brown: I got "full blown diabetes" while working on Community

People

"I got diabetes, or gave myself diabetes, by eating a lot of donuts on the set of Community," Brown said on Sean Hayes and Dr. Priyanka Wali's podcast Hypochondriactor. "I spent a lot of time at the craft services table, and I watched myself get bigger and bigger. And if you watch the show, you can see me get bigger and bigger. And I got a pre-diabetes diagnosis maybe in season one, and then by season three it was full-blown diabetes." Wali then reassured Brown that as a physician, she doesn't believe "it's people's faults that they contract diabetes."
