DIANE'S STORY
“I found the course very enjoyable - it was in a very comfortable setting, where we were made to feel relaxed. I would most definitely recommend it to others. It’s had such a positive effect on my life now.”
Diane, 49, had already been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, an underactive thyroid, fibromyalgia and anaemia when she discovered she was also at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. She joined the programme and has this to say about it:
I found the course very enjoyable, a lot more than I was expecting. It was in a very comfortable setting where we were made to feel relaxed. The information presented was very good and clear. There was great support and ideas from other members of the group, which was encouraging.
Knowing what works best for you and what foods go best together is a very positive experience. I've learned that exercise with a balanced diet is the best way forward and I’m now making time to prepare freshly cooked meals and fit in exercise daily, incorporating different types of activities.
The result is that I find I have more energy and feel fitter. It feels more natural now without thinking too much about it.
I would most definitely recommend the course to others! It's had such a positive effect on my life now.
Naz has been fantastic to us in the group meetings and made it interesting and fun and I’ve also met a great bunch of people.
