Mike Huckabee is a politician, an award winning "Health Crusader", and a successful loser of over 100 pounds.
After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2002, his doctor gave him two oral meds and a stern warning. His doctor told him the condition of his health, the lifestyle he leads and the stress level of his job would likely put him six feet under within 10 years. At 48 years of age he was one of the youngest governors in the Nation. He knew he could win this fight -- and he did. After losing 110 pounds, the Governor of Arkansas reversed his diabetes and serendipitously assumed a role in the war against obesity.
It took a sobering message, dedication and commitment to bring Mike the healthy lifestyle he enjoys today. On the next dLifeTV, learn how Governor Mike Huckabee is winning the battle against diabetes. dLifeTV airs every Sunday on CNBC at 7PM Eastern, 6PM Central and, 4PM Pacific.

Responsibility for your own health in practice.
