Case Study: Derek Constable Aged 80 A former television camera and lighting expert from Nottinghamshire is embracing the opportunity to reduce his risk of Type 2 diabetes by increasing the exercise he takes and being more conscious about what he eats. Derek Constable, who’s 80 and lives in Beeston, signed up to his local Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme after being told by his GP he was at risk of falling victim to the life-changing disease. Just four months in to his ten-month programme, the results have been quite dramatic. Derek has lost almost three stones in weight and he says he feels years younger as a result. “My resolution to make the change needed to stay healthy is strong, ” he said. As well as enjoying the benefits of losing weight and being more active, Derek also wants to continue to care for his wife, who has both dementia and mobility issues.
