A diabetic man from Glasgow has lost over five stone after receiving a scare during his annual visit to his GP. Derek Gray, 47, was told he could lose a limb by the time he was fifty if he didn't take control of his blood sugar and weight.
He struggled to do everyday things like tying his shoe laces and other physical activities. His visit to the doctors gave him the push he needed to get his life back on track.
Derek, from Lenzie, first declined to take part in the NHS' Weight Watchers health referral plan and lost 1st 1lb by himself. But he knew he needed more help if he wanted to see a significant drop in his weight.
