Nelson Mandela has been discharged from the hospital!

Apparently the former South Africa President will be returning to his Houghton home, where he will continue to receive medical care — so while he's out of the hospital, he isn't out of the woods. He was diagnosed with a lung infection and underwent gallstone surgery.

We hope he gets better soon!

We just recently mentioned that the rate which Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes is climbing at an alarming rate.

Diabetes rates have gone up over 100% over the past 15 years in 18 states!!

But people forget that he's 7'1" and was a world-class athlete!

Shaq wants to do what he can to help fight the obesity epidemic and stop the climbing rates of diabetes.
