1.I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
2. I discussed this with diabetic nurse 3. Further to above discussion I attended an online diabetes course run by Forth Valley4. The above was very helpful in my understanding of diabetes
5. I was then given the opportunity to attend weight management course which included an Active Forth class every week
6. This was excellent. You were weighed at each session, every 2 weeks, and excellent encouragement given. Suggestions on how to lose/control your weight was given at each session in a very positive way. It was great hearing of the other members experiences. Coming to the group was a very positive experience. The Active Forth class was great.
7. We were given a 3 month free access to Active Forth/gym membership which I found excellent.
8. The whole experience was excellent. I feel being in a group situation and having the positive help/encouragement from the professional has helped me on my weight journey.
9. I was pleased at my last diabetes review that I was in remission.
"The whole experience was excellent"
