“I didn’t notice any symptoms,” he explained. “I had gone to a diet and exercise program hoping to lose some weight and ended up falling asleep sitting on a bench in the gymnasium.”

A chance encounter with his doctor, who happened to be there, changed everything. Noticing something wasn’t right, the doctor urged Jones to get tested, leading to the unexpected diagnosis. “It hit me like a thunderbolt,” Jones recalled.

With high blood sugar, it’s not as easy, and that can be the most dangerous aspect of type 2 diabetes.”

Despite this, Jones never let the diagnosis slow him down. His passion for performing remained strong, whether handling the demands of eight shows a week or a long film or television schedule.
