What did Charlotte Dawson say?
Charlotte, 28, revealed: “I’ve kind of felt a bit like when I was pregnant with gestational diabetes. It is completely different to Type 2 diabetes.
“Last week I went to the doctors and I’ve actually basically been warned.
“Some tests have come back cause obviously they wanted to see me about the diabetes and I’m a bit like my dad. I don’t like going to the doctors. I don’t like doing stuff like that. I’ve basically been told I could have Type 2 diabetes if I don’t sort my diet out.
I’ve got to change my diet completely
“They’ve said obviously they need to keep a check on me now cause of my family history and everything. I’ve got to change my diet completely.”
In addition, she said: “If I don’t clean my diet up I’m going to be on insulin because my blood sugar is that bad.”
The reality star later broke down in tears as she discussed her mum, Tracy.
Charlotte continued: “I just don’t want anything to happen to my mum. I just have my mum, I don’t have my dad anymore.
“I know he’s around but he’s not here. Everything about my mum, I panic if she’s got a bloody cough or cold.”
Meanwhile, fans rushed to show their support on the post.

Charlotte hits back at trolls

The reality star welcomed her gorgeous son, Noah, with fiancé Matt Sarsfield this year.
In the post, Charlotte defended the tot after the troll criticised his ‘pointy ears’ and ‘weird’ mouth.

“People like that, you just think well no, I’m not going to put anything on any more.”
Charlotte is the daughter of late comedian Les, who sadly passed away after suffering a major heart attack in 1993.
