Tom Hanks reveals type 2 diabetes diagnosis

Actor Tom Hanks has said that he has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the metabolic disease.

Hanks, 57, told late night talk show host David Letterman on Monday that he had been battling high blood sugar for some time.

"I went to the doctor, and he said, 'You know those high blood-sugar numbers you've been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you've graduated! You've got type 2 diabetes, young man,'" Hanks said on CBS network's Late Show with David Letterman.

"It's controllable," said Hanks, who was on the show to promote his new film Captain Phillips. Directed by Paul Greengrass and opening the London Film Festival today, the based-on-a-true-story thriller stars Hanks as a cargo ship captain held captive by Somali pirates.

"Something's going to kill us all, Dave," the two-time Oscar-winning actor said, joking with the host.

Type 2 diabetes affects the body by either not producing enough insulin, the hormone that turns sugar into energy, or by resisting insulin.
