In the latest clip, Doctor Dre explained that his health issues came later in life. He said that while working on ESPN's "Cold Pizza" show, he started drinking soda regularly and wasn't watching his weight. The former MTV VJ said he stepped on a carpet tack and noticed that the wound wasn't healing. He found out he had diabetes after his toe was amputated due to an infection. Doctor Dre added that his family didn't have a history of diabetes, which led him to embark on a journey to understand it further. Despite being a blind amputee, Doctor Dre claimed he was able to reverse his diabetes by changing his lifestyle and said, "I'm more abled than disabled."
