MILLIONS WATCHED IN SILENCE AS MORGAN FREEMAN DESCRIBED HOW HE BEAT DIABETES IN 3 WEEKS.

In an emotional sit-down interview on national television, the 87-year-old actor shared that he is no longer living with type 2 diabetes.

For the first time, Freeman walked audiences through the painful truth of his diagnosis, the physical toll it took on his life, and the natural daily method that helped him regain control — and eventually, his freedom. Freeman’s story is not just about one man. It reflects a larger moment. As diabetes continues to affect over 38 million Americans, his experience raises urgent questions: What if there’s a different way forward? And why are so few people hearing about it?

The full interview aired only once. It has not been rebroadcast. But the impact is growing, with tens of thousands already sharing clips and asking for more information. Below is the complete, unedited transcript of Morgan Freeman’s interview — now being called one of the most important health conversations of the year.

Transcript of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” featuring Morgan Freeman:

Morgan Freeman: Three years ago, I told the world I had diabetes. Type 2. At the time, it shocked people. I remember the headlines. It was all over the news. People said, “Morgan Freeman? Diabetes?” But yes, I had it. And I lived with it, every day, like millions of others. What’s surprising now isn’t that I had diabetes. It’s that I don’t anymore.

Jimmy Kimmel: You’ve been quiet about it for years — and now suddenly you’re ready to talk. Why now?

Morgan Freeman: I think now is the right time to talk about it publicly. Because if I found a way to get rid of diabetes — then others can too.

Jimmy Kimmel: Before you were diagnosed, did anything feel off? Or did it all seem... normal at the time?

Morgan Freeman: Diabetes doesn’t just show up and knock on your door. It sneaks in. I didn’t even know I had it at first. I was just tired. Not once in a while — always. I’d wake up already drained.
My mouth felt dry no matter how much water I drank. Sometimes my hands would shake, or my vision would blur for a second. I thought maybe I was working too much. Or maybe it was just age catching up to me. I didn’t think, “This is diabetes.” I thought, “This is just life.” So I kept going. Like nothing was wrong.

Jimmy Kimmel: So you didn’t see a doctor right away?

Morgan Freeman: No, I didn’t. I told myself I could handle it. I cut down on sugar. Skipped dessert. Tried to be “good.” But the truth is, diabetes was already working its way through me. And I had no idea.

Jimmy Kimmel: When did you finally decide to get it checked out?

Morgan Freeman: It was after I collapsed one morning in the kitchen. Just dropped to the floor. No warning. That’s when I knew — this wasn’t just age, it wasn’t just stress. I went to the doctor. They ran tests. That’s when I first heard the word: diabetes. And from there... it became a routine I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Jimmy Kimmel: Break that down for me — what kind of ‘routine’ are we talking about here?

Morgan Freeman: Doctors, appointments, pills. Every week it was something new — new medication, new schedule, new numbers to track. I was poking my fingers five times a day. Carrying pills with me everywhere. Standing in line at the pharmacy. Paying out of pocket for test strips. And the worst part? None of it helped. My sugar would go up, then down, then up again. One day they’d say, “You’re stable,” the next — “You need to adjust your meds.” It was like a carousel that never stopped. Time, money, energy — all going in. And my body kept falling apart. The doctors said, “Your numbers look okay.” But I wasn’t okay.

Jimmy Kimmel: You were doing everything they told you — and things kept going downhill?

Morgan Freeman: Things got worse. Slower, but steady. Some mornings I couldn’t even get out of bed. My legs felt like they were filled with lead. I’d try to stand up, and the room would spin. I was shaking all the time. Couldn’t hold a fork without spilling food. My vision started going in and out — like fog rolling over my eyes. But the scariest part… was my hand. It started with two fingers going numb. Cold. Like they weren’t mine. Then the skin turned gray. Then darker. I noticed a smell — faint at first, then stronger. I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t want to admit how bad it was. By the time I went back to the doctor, they looked at it and said, “Morgan, if we don’t act fast, you could lose the hand.”

Jimmy Kimmel: They were talking about amputation?

Morgan Freeman: Yes. They said it was likely the blood wasn’t reaching the tissue anymore. That the diabetes had caused too much damage. I sat there and thought, “All this time… all this medicine… and now they’re saying they might have to take my hand?” That was the moment. The one where I realized — something had to change. And fast.

Jimmy Kimmel: So what did you do?

Morgan Freeman: I stopped waiting for someone else to fix it. The pills weren’t doing it. The doctors meant well, but I was still falling apart. So I took matters into my own hands. I spent every spare hour reading. Talking to people. Looking up studies, journals — anything I could find that didn’t sound like the same script I’d been hearing for years. I spoke to folks who’d been through worse than me. I paid out of pocket for tests, second opinions, consultations. Days turned into weeks. And finally… I found it. Something different. A new method. Nothing like the prescriptions I was used to. It was simple — just one capsule a day. Natural, clean. And the way it worked... made sense. So I tried it.

Jimmy Kimmel: Was it immediate? Or did it take a while before you felt something?

Morgan Freeman: The thing I started taking is called ElaraCore. No, it wasn’t immediate. I wasn’t expecting it to be. But after about four, maybe five days… something shifted. I woke up, and it didn’t take me twenty minutes to get out of bed. I wasn’t dizzy. My legs felt lighter. I could stand without bracing myself. And the hand — the one the doctors said I might lose — it wasn’t getting worse anymore. The skin looked calmer. The color started coming back. And that smell? It was gone.

Jimmy Kimmel: That had to hit different — not dramatic, just… real. Like something finally shifted.

Morgan Freeman: It was the first time in years I thought, “Maybe I’m not stuck with this for life.” It wasn’t a miracle moment — it was quiet. But it gave me hope. Real hope.

Jimmy Kimmel: And it just kept improving?

Morgan Freeman: Yeah. Week by week. After the first week taking ElaraCore, I wasn’t crashing in the afternoons anymore. I had energy. Not like in my thirties, sure — but enough to feel like myself again. I could go out, run errands, cook dinner without feeling like I had to lie down afterward. By the second week, I wasn’t scared of food anymore. I didn’t have to measure every bite or worry if a slice of bread would send me into a spiral. I ate normal meals. And I enjoyed them. That was a big one — enjoying food again. By the third week… my blood sugar stopped spiking. It was steady. The readings were better than I’d seen in years. My hand — fully healed. No pain. No numbness. I remember holding a coffee mug with one hand, just standing in my kitchen, smiling. That hadn’t happened in a long, long time. And all I’d done — really — was stick to ElaraCore. One capsule a day. Nothing complicated. But it changed everything.

Jimmy Kimmel: At what point did you feel… free from diabetes?

Morgan Freeman: It snuck up on me. One morning I realized I hadn’t checked my blood sugar in two days — and I wasn’t worried. That used to be unthinkable. I’d check five times a day, every day. Always watching, always adjusting, always afraid of the next crash. But suddenly, I wasn’t living around diabetes anymore. I was just living. I could go out to dinner and not scan the menu like it was a medical report. I didn’t need to carry snacks in my pocket, “just in case.” I wasn’t tied to a routine. And the fear — the constant fear that my body might betray me — that was gone.

Jimmy Kimmel: Did people know you were using something different?

Morgan Freeman: At first, no. I wasn’t advertising it, just quietly getting better. But people noticed. Friends. Colleagues. Even my doctor asked what changed. Eventually, word got out — that I was using something called ElaraCore. And that’s when the pressure started.

Jimmy Kimmel: From who?

Morgan Freeman: Big Pharma. The moment they heard I was using something outside their system — and it was working — they came running. They know what ElaraCore means. It means fewer prescriptions. Fewer injections. Fewer people trapped in that monthly refill cycle. And for them, that means one thing: lost profits. We’re talking billions. So yeah — the calls started. Lawyers. “Concerns.” “Warnings.” All the usual tactics. They don’t care if people get better. They care if people stop buying what they’re selling. But it was too late. People had already started waking up. And once that happens — you can’t put the lid back on.

Jimmy Kimmel: So where does it stand now? Is this method available to the public?

Morgan Freeman: It is. At least, for now. There’s a program that helps people get it. Official. Verified. Not some backdoor thing. But it’s not sold in stores. You won’t find it in pharmacies — for obvious reasons. It’s only distributed through one source, and they do it in limited batches. They’re not mass-producing it. I don’t think they can yet. And with all the pressure coming in from the industry, I don’t know how long it’ll stay available. I’ve heard rumors — lawsuits, policy changes, all of it. So right now, yeah, it’s real. It works. But I wouldn’t tell anyone to wait around.

Jimmy Kimmel: What made you decide to speak out now?

Morgan Freeman: Because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to sit in that exam room and hear them say “there’s nothing more we can do.” I know how it feels to look down at your own hand and wonder if it’ll still be there next month. And I know what it’s like to live in fear of food, of your own body, of tomorrow. I’m not here to sell anything. But ElaraCore gave me my life back. And I just don’t want someone else to wait too long, like I did. There’s a window open right now. And once it closes… who knows how long we’ll have to wait for another one.

EDITOR’S NOTE:

Morgan Freeman’s story has sparked conversations across the country — not because he’s a celebrity, but because his recovery is something many believed to be impossible. For years, managing type 2 diabetes has meant one thing: medication, routine, and resignation. His results with ElaraCore challenge that expectation.

Naturally, we looked into it. Our editorial team reached out to several independent clinics currently distributing ElaraCore through a limited-release program. The product is not sold in stores or pharmacies. It’s not part of any major pharmaceutical distribution network. And availability is tightly controlled.

What we found confirmed Freeman’s claims: The current supply is real — but extremely limited. Fewer than 5,000 boxes remain in the current batch. Once they’re gone, it’s unclear when or if a new shipment will be released.
If you’re living with type 2 diabetes and ElaraCore is still available — don’t wait. Fill out the form below and claim your box before this batch runs out. This may be the only chance.
