Dom Littlewood Diabetes

TV presenter and journalist Dom Littlewood was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 10. He became severely ill during a family holiday to Devon. His weight had dropped to 4st and his parents drove him to hospital, where he stayed for two weeks before being discharged.

In 2003, Littlewood suffered a severe hypoglycemia – a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range – while visiting his sister Teresa in Hong Kong.

He suffered a second health scare during filming for Strictly Come Dancing in 2007. While dancing with his partner Lilia Kopylova, a member of the TV crew asked him to check his blood glucose levels They were extremely low.

Littlewood was given sugary drinks and quickly recovered. When he asked the TV crew member why she asked him to check his levels, Littlewood told The Mirror that she replied: “I’m a bit embarrassed to say it, but it’s the first time ever that it looked like you could dance!”

Dom Littlewood Cancer

Consumer affairs expert Dom Littlewood was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012 after a routine blood check for the Type 1 diabetes he has had since the age of 10. When he went to the doctor for his blood test to check sugar levels, he spontaneously decided it was a good opportunity to get a check-up.

At 47, he had high PSA or Prostate-specific antigen levels for his age. An important tool to test for cancer, these can also be a sign of other conditions – infection, prostate enlargement or inflammation – while some men have naturally higher PSA levels as they age. Dom was put on antibiotics but a week later, the levels hadn’t changed.

He was called in for a biopsy, which involves a small medical device being inserted, painlessly removing tiny parts of the prostate – a gland between the bladder and the penis – to be examined for cancer.

“The result was an early sign of prostate cancer,” Littlewood told the Metro. “The doctor said there was no urgency, I could finish my filming commitments, but it was important to remove the prostate gland as soon as possible.”

He was booked in not long after. A pain-free procedure called a radical prostatectomy was carried out, using miniaturised robotic instruments inserted through a small hole near the belly button, minimising the risk of intrusive nerve damage. The prostate was removed and in a couple of days Dom was back on hisfeet.
