Halle Berry, 54, believed to live in California, has admitted she has been following a strict plan to help stay clear of the coronavirus, as she is thought to be more at risk due to having diabetes. The actress was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after falling ill in 1989.
Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
Opening up about the precautions she has taken, the Catwoman actress said: “I do feel at risk.
“I’m very strict about quarantining and who is in my bubble.
“We have a whole section of the house, when you go out in the world and buy something, it has to sit in this purgatory.”

Halle linked the incident to her diabetes, adding: “I have a propensity to fracture bones faster than other people.”
After being diagnosed with diabetes at 22, the X-Men star cut out three core things from her diet; sugar, white carbs and conventional wine.
“When I was 19 or 20 years old, right before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was a complete sugar addict,” she explained to Women’s Health Magazine.
She added: “I started the day with some sort of sugary cereal like Lucky Charms or Cocoa Puffs and I always, always had a candy bar or some sort of hard candy (Jolly Ranchers and Hot Tamales were my go-to’s) on me.
