Making informed choices for better health – Kevin’s story

For Kevin, joining the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme provided valuable information and practical guidance to help reduce his risk of Type 2 diabetes. Rather than following restrictive diets, Kevin appreciated learning how to make informed choices that suited his lifestyle and supported his long-term health.

"The programme was very informative and didn't push people into diets that didn't suit them. Instead, it gave me the information I needed to decide what was right for me and make changes that I could maintain."

The Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme supports people at risk of Type 2 diabetes to make healthier lifestyle choices, helping them reduce their risk and improve their overall wellbeing.

"Since starting the programme, I've reduced my sugar intake and become much more aware of food labels. I've also started using smaller plates, which has helped me manage portion sizes and make healthier choices at mealtimes."

"One of the biggest results for me has been developing healthier eating habits. The programme has helped me understand the changes I can make to support my health every day."

"The impact has been positive not only physically but mentally too. I feel better about myself and more confident that I'm taking the right steps to look after my health."

"Overall, I'm pleased I joined the programme. The information, support and practical advice have helped me make lasting changes, and I'm motivated to continue building on these healthier habits in the future."
