Whoa! Abby Lee Miller Flaunts Major Weight Loss

Instead, Miller attributes her extreme weight loss to her diabetes diagnosis, which happened to occur around the same time her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer—a battle which she lost in February 2014. 

"When you're in and out of the hospital, that hospital food just makes you sick," Miller explains. "I think it was a little bit mental with me."

In addition filming Dance Moms in a Los Angeles area studio ("It was hot as hell, so nobody was eating a lot"), she also traveled to Australia to film a special for the Lifetime series, where she happened to run out of her diabetes medication.
