I learned a lot from the programme

Posted By Geoje83

"I learned a lot from the programme"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Diabetes Peter Brunt Centre / Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinic (NFLD)

(as a service user),

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and also NAFLD.

I was Assessed by the Peter Brunt Centre in Aberdeen. I had a Fibroscan and some follow-up appointments . I was introduced to Mary, who had a few video appointments with me and I also took part in a programme with Sophie and Jess.

I met two or three others who were all on the programme and we all told of our diagnosis and gave ideas of how to change our behaviours towards being active and changing our lifestyles.

I learned a lot from the programme. Just before the end of the program I was informed I was no longer needing the screening as I had lost so much weight and changed my lifestyle to reverse or stop it getting worse.

I would like to thank all the people who helped me and I would like to say to others that it if it's helped me it will help you also.

Geoje83,

Thank you for your message. It’s wonderful to hear how well the programme worked for you and that you, with the help of the team, have managed to change your lifestyle. It’s not easy and you’ve done amazing well.

I've shared this with the team, and Mary, Sophie and Jess will be touched you’ve taken the time to get in touch – not only will it boost morale but, as you have mentioned it will hopefully inspire other people to come along to clinic who might have been in two minds before.

Good with the next part of your journey.

Take care,

Kirsten
