Craig Kawiti has experienced a few health scares in recent years – a brain tumour, followed by a heart attack – but it took being told his type two diabetes would have to be treated with insulin injections to jolt him into making some serious lifestyle changes.
The 57-year-old Tauranga man hit the gym, radically altered his diet, and is currently celebrating a 32kg weight loss.
His road to good health and wellbeing started in August last year after he was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and was referred by his doctor to attend one of Western Bay of Plenty Primary Health Organisation’s free diabetes self-management courses.
