Randy Jackson suffers from what illness?

Randy Jackson was stopped by the show to celebrate the program's anniversary.

As a result of Randy's thinner appearance, a number of admirers turned to social media while watching the program.

One fan wrote on Twitter: "Randy Jackson on American Idol Reunion appears to be a completely different person... Is he all right? #AmericanIdol."

Randy's slimmer appearance is due to his Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis.

In 2002, the well-known musician was diagnosed with the condition.

Randy's 2008 self-help book, Body With Soul, detailed his battles with Type 2 Diabetes.

Randy has addressed public health issues before, including on the 20th anniversary of American Idol.

He highlighted his diabetes fight and dietary practices during a January 2021 appearance on The Today Show.

On The Today Show, he shared similar thoughts to those presented in Body With Soul.

"Diets, liquid fasts, weight-loss drugs, you name it, none of them ever worked for long," the producer wrote.

He Said: When I ended myself in the hospital, though, I had to confront the fact that all of those tactics had failed.
