I’ve been diabetic since 1996 — Jide Kosoko says

Veteran Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, has opened up on his long battle with diabetes, revealing how he has managed to live and work with the condition for almost three decades without allowing it to affect his career.

Speaking in a recent interview that surfaced on Saturday, the film veteran revealed that he has been living with the condition since 1996.

According to him, nearly three decades of managing the illness has taught him a lot about his own body and how to maintain his health.

Kosoko said he has been able to manage the condition effectively over the years because he is deliberate about his well-being.

“I have been diabetic since 1996 till date. I understand my health better than some doctors do. Do not misquote me. I just don’t want to die,” he said.

The actor added that his health condition has not stopped him from living his life and carrying out his daily activities.
