The wives who helped hubbies beat diabetes... and lost 7st themselves

THREE wives who supported their diabetic husbands on a diet have ended up losing weight themselves. Lynne Collyer, Katie Caldesi and Gillian Chadbourne shed seven stone between them.

They joined their partners on diabetes. co.uk’s Low-carb Program, which in two years has helped more than 200,000 people tackle Type 2 diabetes.

Here the couples describe how they underwent a remarkable health and body transformation.
