Magda Szubanski Shares Health Update Following Public Battle With Emotional Eating
Magda Szubanski has revealed she is no longer pre-diabetic.
The 62-year-old actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share an update on her health, as well as a photo of her very decadent breakfast.
“My latest breakfast invention…scrambled eggs with truffle oil over lightly fried cauliflower with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, salt and pepper YUM,” she wrote.
The comic then revealed the result of his last blood.
“I got my Hba1c (blood test) out of pre-diabetes and back into the normal range,” she added. “I’m far from perfect but I keep trying.”

The 62-year-old actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share an update on her health, as well as a photo of her very decadent breakfast.
The star then promoted Magda’s big national health check, targeting the amount of sugar in food.
“(Watch it) to find out how F****ING sugar is here and why it’s so hard to be healthy in Australia. 50% of Australians live with a chronic illness,” she said.
In November, Magda looked visibly distressed as she spoke about her battle with emotional eating on the ABC’s Big National Health Check.
She fought back tears as she interviewed weight management expert Dr Lucy Burns, who explained how some people resort to binge eating to deal with their emotional demons.
“I really think about that feeling of being able to forgive myself,” she said through tears.
“Because I know people are wondering, ‘Why did she do this to herself?’ And I felt like I had no choice. It was the only sensible decision I could make, given the alternatives that I was faced with.
“And then you become this fucking shame magnet,” she added.
“And it’s like you’re not supposed to fight back.” You are not allowed to defend yourself. You’re supposed to hang your head again in shame and say, ‘I’m to blame for this.’
Magda listed her various health problems in an interview with TV Week magazine last October and said she wondered if there were others with similar problems.
“There are times in my life when I have been completely ruined by illness,” she said.
“I got my Hba1c (blood test) out of pre-diabetes and back into the normal range,” she added. “I’m far from perfect but I keep trying.” Pictured: December 2022

“Osteoarthritis, migraines, anxiety – I also have sleep apnea – and it makes me wonder, ‘Am I the only one who feels this? Do other people feel the same way? Do they face the same challenges?” added.
Magda, a long-time campaigner who campaigned to change same-sex marriage laws in 2017, was previously the face of weight loss company Jenny Craig.
She split from Jenny Craig for the second time in 2014, later regaining the 40kg she lost in the years that followed.
