Diabetes awareness week 💕
Meet the lovely Carol who attends our Tuesday 5pm group… her words …
Hi everyone, would just like to tell you about my journey with slimming world since i was diagnosed with diabetes type 2, i have been wanting to lose weight for a long time but more so since i have diabetes, my doctor said even though theres a lot of reasons why you may get diabetes, if i was to lose weight and be more active i might lower my blood sugar levels, so i started slimming world at the cronton group widnes with the lovely consultant kate humphries 8 months ago, and wow what an amazing change to my life style, ive lost weight, i am more active and going to class has helped me so much to stay on track, it's not a diet but a healthy eating plan, so much variety of food and even a small quantity of naughty snacks 🙂, going to class isn't just about learning about what we can eat on the plan or doing more activity, its about meeting new friends and having their support as well and we have a laugh every week, if your fed up, sad or happy it keeps you motivated to carry on, kate is always there for me when i need advice, i went to the doctors for a blood test recently and had the best news, the doctor told me because ive lost weight and more active that my blood sugars have come down that much, that i could come off metformin tablets, im so happy hearing this, it shows that slimming world really does work, join your local class, make new friends and feel better about youself, i have still got a bit more weight to lose but even when i hit my target , i am still going to go to class, good luck on your journey and live your best life ❤️ ###x
