Taking control of my health – June’s story

For June, joining the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme was an opportunity to improve her health and take positive steps towards reducing her risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. With support from the programme, she focused on making healthier lifestyle choices that would benefit her long-term wellbeing.

"Before joining the programme, I was overweight and had been told I had a high pre-diabetic reading. I knew I needed to make some changes to improve my health and reduce my risk of developing Type 2 diabetes."

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

"One of the biggest changes I made after joining the programme was improving my diet and starting to eat more healthily. The programme helped me think more carefully about my food choices and the impact they can have on my health."

"Since starting the programme, I've lost a stone in weight, and I feel much better because of it. Seeing these results has given me confidence that the changes I've made are making a real difference."

"The programme has had a positive impact on my life. I now take part in more activities and feel more positive overall. Improving my lifestyle has helped me feel healthier and more motivated to look after myself."

"Overall, I'm pleased that I joined the programme. Losing weight, feeling healthier and becoming more active have been great outcomes, and I'm determined to continue making positive choices for my health in the future."
