Crystal Bowersox attributes good health to Idol experience
May 28, 2010
Despite her battle with juvenile diabetes and the stress of the American Idol competition, Crystal Bowersox is now better than ever — thanks in part to the Fox hit reality show. “Through the care I received, I have had a complete change and [have] never been as healthy as I am right now,” the season nine runner-up says. After growing up in poverty lacking the funds for proper medical care, Crystal realized in a moment of crisis that her new resources as a singing superstar could do wonders for her well-being. “Once I got sick, a team of people swarmed in to help me, and I never felt so loved in my life,” the 24-year-old single mom, who was hospitalized mid-competition in March for complications from her disease, adds. Though initially she was reluctant to discuss her health problems, Crystal now wants to be a spokesperson for diabetes. “I [feel] like I have a platform to become a role model for kids, and to help the diabetic community worldwide. That is the main focus of my career after Idol. I want to do good things,” the big-hearted star says.
