Holly Rey chats about lifestyle changes
Speaking to TimesLIVE, the star noted that living with diabetes is not like any other illness where you take a pill and everything goes back to normal. Holly Rey said being diabetic means your lifestyle changes because everything you do or eat can affect your health.
Holly Rey added that part of her lifestyle change included having a doctor on call and also having to travel with the doctor at times. She said this has been amazing, not only for her but for her entire team and fans.
"I have a doctor on call for when I'm not feeling well. He does travel with me. A big change in my schedule and my team is having a doctor be a part of my team. He's not with me all the time but whenever I'm feeling under the weather he does travel with me to make sure I can be the best version of myself."
Holly Rey calls on artists to prioritise their health
