"Completely changed my life"

About: Healthier Future Team / Forth Valley Weight Management Service

(as the patient),

I started my journey with weight management October time last year after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a couple of years ago, I also had undiagnosed PCOS as well and after working with Toria my diabetic nurse I finally managed to get in touch with Emily from weight management and really start to turn my life around.

We had a couple of chats and I was able to do the soup and shake low calorie diet and managed to loose just under 4st in around 3/4 months and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done and couldn’t of done it without the support and weekly check ins from Emily. If I email she always gets back to me and can always reassure me. The whole point of this was for fertility reasons for me and my husband and in loosing the weight I have now reversed my diabetes, no longer have high blood pressure etc and have had the go ahead to be referred back to fertility etc so it’s completely changed my life.

I still work with Emily on a monthly basis to try and maintain my loss for now but couldn’t recommend the service anymore.
