I have battled with weight all my life. I weighed nearly 15 stone when my GP told me I was heading for diabetes. We have all done safefood, Weigh2Live and "Operation Transformation" programmes, but it was not until I was told by my GP that I was heading towards diabetes that I realised I needed to cop on.
