A social butterfly who spent up to £180 per week on decadent nights out said that losing three stone and regaining control of her diabetes has helped her cope with the grief of losing her father.
Type one diabetic Lauren Upcott, a waitress from Ebbw Vale, South Wales, used to feel uncomfortable in her size 16 clothes.
When the 29-year-old's father, Nick Upcott, 60, passed away in December 2018 from prostate cancer, she was grief-stricken. As she analysed her lifestyle, she feared her unhealthy habits would have dire consequences. Overhauling her routine, Lauren joined Slimming World in February 2019, losing an amazing three stone alongside getting her diabetes under control.
