@joncoupland I have managed to loose 13kg since early September. First two weeks are hardest, shrinking the stomach, I ate mostly iceberg lettuce (no other lettuce works!) and eating tinned fish (sardines, mackerel and tuna). Along the way I also discovered I was slightly intolerant to gluten
@MattNealRacing Standard response from GPs. Just insist until they relent, I am the same age as you and have convinced my GP to test every year, it is a struggle some years but they will do it.
