‘Lost weight and no longer need diabetes medication’

Just a few months of walking made a huge difference to 75-year-old Peter Jackson and his diabetes.

‘I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the end of February, and it spurred me on to walk every day wherever

I am and whatever the weather. I fully expected to take 12 months to reach my 1000-mile goal, but despite the diabetes and one or two other health issues I passed this target on 2nd August. I’ve achieved my weight loss target and recently had my first diabetic review – where I was told I won’t now need medication. I’m very pleased, to say the least!’
