WRESTLING icon Jim Ross has given a worrying update on his health.
The legendary commentator – who recently announced he’s cancer-free – is currently on leave from AEW following a dangerous surge in his blood sugar levels.
The former WWE star bravely opened up on his latest health scare during a recent episode of his Grilling Jr podcast.
And he revealed to co-host Conrad Thompson that he’s yet to get the problem under control – despite repeated insulin injections.
The 71-year-old said: “My blood sugar’s gone crazy and I’m trying to get it under control.
“It’s not under control right now.”
Ross admits he could end up having a SEIZURE in the near future if his levels don’t return to normal.
He said: “My blood sugar is around 400, and that’s dangerous.
“That’s diabetic seizure time.”
Ross is currently injecting himself with insulin every night in a bid to get back to full health.
He said: “Giving yourself a shot every night is unique, different.”
AEW are refusing to put a timeframe on Ross’ return, giving their beloved commentator all the time he needs to make a full recovery.
But he claimed to be “a few more weeks” away from returning to the booth earlier this month, saying: “I’m pretty good, Conrad.
“Had a busy week at the doctor’s, and trying to get all these little things taken care of.
“They’re not little things if you let them go. So anyway, I’m getting better, I think.
“Still gonna be off work for a few more weeks, and then we’ll just move on, and hopefully, it’ll work out.
“I had a long doctor’s meeting yesterday, over two hours. You know how it goes.”
Ross then jokingly lamented the tough son of a gun that is Father Time.
The WWE Hall of Famer said: “Getting old is the s***s.”
