Screw Tom Hanks.

The world famous multimillionaire actor Tom Hanks has just announced that he been diagnosed with diabetes it has been reported in the press,He is very rich and worth at least $180 million.
According to various press reports he was very angry ,disgusted and said it shouldn't have happened to him as he is rich and famous and didn't deserve it.
The actor added his diabetes was "part of life" and he felt "just fine".
In a later interview with BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz, Hanks said: "I always joke: you've got to maintain the temple. I get regular exercise and I eat right - which everybody should do - and I take certain meds."
Speaking at the Captain Phillips press conference on Wednesday, Hanks said: "Gaining and losing of weight may have had something to do with this because you eat so much bad food and you don't get any exercise when you're heavy.
"But I think I was genetically inclined to get it and I think it actually and goes back to a lifestyle I've been leading ever since I was seven years old, as opposed to 36."

Amazing if there are no side effects.
I'm confused though... why is the skin all dark and splotchy?
I assume the one on the right is a black person that has healed, but on the left is this a black person or a white person and why is their skin splotchy? Is that part of the problem? It just kind of freaked me out at first because I thought diabetics get gangrene, so when I looked at all the dark spots i thought...gangrene and how in the world are they going to heal gangrene and isn't the gangrene actually worse that the wound?
but now I'm just like... what is going on with those splotches? Is it where they have removed some skin on a black person? It looks almost like debrided burns or something.

Excess sugar in the blood damages blood vessels. Especially capillaries. This can cause circulation problems that can result in infections, healing problems, and areas of tissue to die. This happens quite often in the extremities. If not treated, gangrene can result and necessitate amputation. Splotches can be from previous wounds and infections, or tissue damage from circulation problems.

So the person on the left is a white person? If that is a white person then I think I'd be more concerned with all that darkened possibly gangrene skin because that looks grim and does not look like any kind of normal scarring. I was hoping that was a black person who has had their skin debrided or something for whatever reason but now I'm all confused. The lighter skin looks like it is raw so I'm hoping that is a black person who does NOT have gangrene because that does not look hopeful if they have that much gangrene. on the other hand, if that is a black person, maybe it's not that infected and will grow back.
it looks more like debrided skin to me and I hope that is not gangrene because I'm confused at what I'm looking at and the picture does not make it very obvious really.
I didn't even read the article. i'm going to feel really stupid if it was in there if that person was black or white.

If it was gangrene they would not treat the wound, they would amputate (actually if the black areas were gangrene, with that much area, the person would already be dead). Probable that both subjects are black. Splotches are scaring from previous sores/wounds.

...Could you supply links and sources as to where it says he's too rich and famous to deserve this please... I can't seem to find them. I have met Mr. Hanks on 2 occasions and each time he took the time to chat with me... Spent 20 + minutes talking to me at one time... Doesn't seem like someone who feels that way... Pretty down to Earth to me...

... Well naturally, the point I'm making is that I can't find it (the quote)... Secondly, I'm assuming beckybecky believes that Hanks is serious... I wanted to let the OP know that he didn't appear to be the type of person to whine like that...
