Libertines singer previously said he felt ‘death was lurking’
Pete Doherty, 45, has revealed he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and has been warned by his doctor to avoid walking too much due to the risk of toe amputation. The Libertines and Babyshambles frontman has openly discussed his health struggles, including years of drug and alcohol abuse, which he says have taken a toll on his body. He has also shared details about his efforts to improve his health. Close to one percent of NHS spending is allocated to foot disease care for diabetes patients, and Chris Askew of Diabetes UK highlighted that many diabetes-related amputations are preventable but access to care remains a challenge, particularly in areas of higher deprivation.
