Keith encourages others living with type 2 diabetes to join Healthy Living

Healthy Living for people with type 2 diabetes is an online programme clinically proven to help participants live well with type 2 diabetes. It is an online programme so you can access information and advice at home, work, or on the move.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle and managing your type 2 diabetes can help you avoid complications such as amputation, heart disease, and stroke.

After recently being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, camping enthusiast Keith joined Healthy Living for people with type 2 diabetes to gain as much support as possible.

Keith said: “I found the registration process easy and the programme already adds to my thought processes. It provides lots of information in a simple to understand way.

“After being on the programme for a few months now, I have seen my HbA1c reduce from 56 mmol to 39 mmol. I’ve also lost a total of 37lbs, five inches from my waist and my BMI has dropped from 27.1 to 23!”

If you are over 18 years old and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, start the Healthy Living programme today.

If you care for, or are a family member of someone living with type 2 diabetes, you can sign up too.

To others who are considering joining the programme, Keith advises: “Join the programme. Read through. Try out the exercises. Seek the help and assistance you need.”
