After taking early retirement nearly two years ago I have tried hard to improve my health. I have suffered from Type 2 Diabetes for about 13 years and after watching Fixing Dad 12 months ago, I decided to work hard to try and improve my Diabetes. With support of my wife I have learnt to swim (having recently completed a 22 mile swim), I walk regularly and have been on a low carb diet since watching the program. I have lost just over 4 stone in weight and have been able to reduce my insulin by two thirds. Cathy and I are taking part in the walk after supporting our two sons in the South Coast challenge last year in which they also supported MIND. Please support us both if you can.
