A man who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes has turned his life around after losing five stone in weight in a matter of months. Mathew Kiziuk, of Water Yeat near Coniston, said that the wake-up call he needed came while he was on holiday last year when he was struggling to balance due to nerve issues in his toes, which led to him falling and being unable to get up. The 42-year-old said two Germans had to help him get his 23-stone frame up from the ground. He also could not be active with his children as he would have been previously, which was the true cause for his change.
