“Thank you very much for all your help. I feel so much better now I have lost the weight and I am sleeping better too. I had a review with the nurse last week and she was really surprised and happy with me. I told her all the changes I made on the programme. My blood pressure is now normal for the first time in years and my blood sugars are back under control.”
