Some of the comments from a select group of the 13,338 individuals who participated in face-to-face sessions with the LWTC coaching team.

“I am particularly pleased to celebrate my successes, after the support, advice, and encouragement from my coach – a 10cm reduction in waist size, a 9kg weight reduction, and HbA1c at 41. All of which encouraged me to maintain the small but significant lifestyle changes that I have made following the advice and education given during the sessions.”

“A year ago I finished attending one of your diabetes prevention programmes and said at the time how much I found it a valuable experience. This week I had the results of my recent blood test and my HbA1c has come down from the initial figure of 44 to 39. RESULT!!! The sessions really help to put the obvious into real situations. I thought it would be nice for you to get some extra feedback a year on to the lasting effect that you achieve – THANK YOU!!!”

“I have received my HbA1c result, and it has dropped from 42 to 36. I am very pleased with the result – thank you very much Natalie for your excellent sessions on the programme. I am currently 84kg and before starting I was 90kg so I will be continuing with what I have learnt. I found that the programme was life changing, particularly regarding choice of foods.”

“The programme was well designed covering many subjects spread into manageable sections. There was a very thorough discussion on each subject and the impact of our actions which affect other parts of our bodies and our health. Our coach delivered each session with both a factual and a humorous approach – losing weight and the encouragement to walk considerably improved my wellbeing.”

“I have lost 19.5kg since the start of the programme and my HbA1c is well into the healthy level now. Thank you for all the advice, it was all a mystery to me before – truly life changing.”

“I’d like to thank you personally for all your information and guidance over these last few months. At the start I weighed 16.11 stone, I’m currently 13.3 stone and I shall keep going – my mindset is very positive. Keep going with the great advice and information, you are changing people’s lives for the better – that’s got to be a wonderful feeling!”

“My coach put my mind ease – all the information provided in the sessions was very helpful. Going online can be so misleading so having you to spell it out and dispel the myths has been really helpful. Thanks for all your help.”
