Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams is many things — a Brownsville, Brooklyn, native, a former NYPD officer and New York State Senator, a potential future mayoral candidate, and, in many people’s eyes, something of a walking health marvel.
Six months after receiving a type 2 diabetes diagnosis during a routine health check-up in early spring 2016, Adams says he completely reversed the disease. Today, Adams, 57, has a new lease on life. He’s 30 pounds lighter with normal blood glucose levels of 5.7 percent — at diagnosis, his hemoglobin A1C level was at a high 17 percent, which is about three times the healthy percentage — and says he feels more energized than ever.
