HEALTH chiefs have warned that thousands of people are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every year.
New figures published in The Bolton News last week revealed that almost 20,000 people in the borough are at risk of developing the disease.
But a former Bolton News journalist, Dave Beevers, proved it is possible for diabetes sufferers to transform their health and fitness.
Doctors are calling for more preventative measures to reduce the number of people developing type 2 which is linked to lifestyle.
Mr Beevers said it was a wake-up call when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three years ago.
At the time, he weighed 24 stone and had started to struggle with his mobility.
