An 80-year-old pensioner who would struggle walking to the bus stop due to his weight has lost almost 4 stone after a scare following a trip to the doctors.
Bill Ryan, from Bearsden, was told he would need to start taking medication to help with his declining health after blood tests showed he was on the verge of diabetes.
Branding himself a 'youngster', he was alarmed when simple things like catching a bus became difficult.
