At the end of 2011 I was told I was diabetic type 2, so I begain 2012 decided to live with it the best way I could. My GP suggested Active Lifestyles as a way of moving forward and learning what I needed to do.
I met with Laura Harris at Marmaduke health centre in Hull shortly after, she was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and took my "vital" statistics! The most important of which was that I weighed 18st 6lbs. Laura encouraged me to do what was required and one of the most important things was to learn about my diet. I then met "Bex" at Bean St community centre for 2 sessions on health and diet. Everything was done in a pleasant, unforceful way by people who has the gift to communicate simply what is a very complex area.
I am writing this 6 months later. I have a better, healthier, smaller diet, weigh myself every Friday, I manage my diabetes without medication and was recently signed off by Laura, weighing in at 16st!!
