LaVar Ball has publicly said he has diabetes , but the sources I found do not specify whether it is type 1 or type 2.

What’s known

  • He confirmed his leg amputation was due to complications from diabetes and a spreading foot infection.
  • The reports I found mention diabetes generally, without naming a specific type.

What that means

  • Based on the available reporting, the safest answer is: it hasn’t been publicly disclosed what kind of diabetes he has.
  • Any claim that it is type 1 or type 2 would be speculation unless he or a reliable source states it directly.

Bottom line

He has diabetes, but the type is not publicly confirmed.
