Nurse tells how she overcame lifelong struggle with weight
A NURSE who transformed her life after shedding more than six stone managed to put her type 2 diabetes into remission.
Psychiatric nurse Donna Gough made the decision to ring the changes after she was prescribed medication for the chronic condition.

"Working in health, I was embarrassed I'd let it get this far.
"I knew what the outcomes of these conditions could look like, and it made me nervous thinking about what the future would be if I didn't do something.
