Ruben Studdard   the former  American Idol winner, is in this season of NBC’s “Biggest Loser.” In Tuesday night’s episode he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

According to the show’s medical expert, Studdard’s insulin level, average blood sugar and instantaneous blood sugar levels were high across the board.

Studdard speaking to his coach Dolvette Quince and Dr. Huizenga said, “I am afraid. I have seen a lot of lives cut short because of health issues. I’ve worked since I was 11-years-old to be a professional singer. That’s all I ever wanted to do.”

Studdard continued, “I most definitely want to be around for a long time. This has really, like, given me a second chance.”
