SANTA SUSANA, CALIFORNIA: 'The Golden Bachelorette' star Dan Roemer is speaking out about his complicated health issues! In the second episode of the ABC dating show, Dan talked about the tremors in his hands. While having a conversation with Joan Vassos, he reflected on his past health scares. For those unversed, Dan began to struggle with his health in the year 2015. At that point in time, Dan found it difficult to keep his diabetes under control. Then, the doctors gave shocking news to Dan. The medical professionals informed Dan that he had "about six months to live" due to failing organs.
This made Dan realize that he needed to make some lifestyle changes. "This is the tough part of my journey. Every organ in my body was starting to fail and I was seriously sick," Dan told Joan. Hearing those words from the doctor ignited a fire in Dan to work on his health and well-being "And, you know, it's one of those conversations, and I'm like, 'I've never even spent a night in a hospital,' you know?" he further added. Dan decided to take a break from his work to prioritize his health. Some people who are diabetic experience hand tremors as a result of low blood sugar levels, meanwhile in other cases, these hand tremors are considered a side effect of diabetic neuropathy. Dan didn't share more information about his hand tremors but he still deals with the issue daily.
