Randy Jackson has lived with type 2 diabetes for nearly 2 decades. Ignoring advice from his dentist who had noticed signs of diabetes in Randy's mouth, the award-winning producer and former American Idol judge landed in the ER with a blood sugar over 500 mg/dL. Today, thankfully, his diabetes is well controlled. Randy has teamed up with Colgate toothpaste to raise awareness about diabetes and the link between blood sugar and gum disease.
