A diabetic man from Glasgow who was told he could lose a limb if he didn't start looking after himself has shared his incredible weight loss transformation. At 20st 5lbs, Derek Gray struggled to do everyday things like tie his shoelaces and other basic tasks.
Then, during an annual check-up, the 47-year-old was warned by his GP that he could face losing an arm or a leg by the time he was 50 if he didn't get his blood sugar and weight under control. Determined to get his life back on track, Derek has since lost over five stone after signing up for the NHS' Weight Watchers health referral plan.
He was initially hesitant to join the programme, and was able to lose 1st 1lb by himself. However, he quickly realised that he would need more help if he wanted to see a significant drop in his weight, according to Glasgow Live.
