The Libertines frontman opens up about his diagnosis and the challenges of managing his health after years of substance abuse.

Pete Doherty, the Libertines singer and guitarist, has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as he continues to battle ongoing health issues.
Doherty has openly discussed his struggles with alcohol and drugs, noting that his health improved after giving up 'the main poisons' but worsened with the consumption of alcohol, cheese, and sugar.
