I noticed that the provider of this face-to-face prediabetes programme is Thrive Tribe. Here is a link, relating to gestational diabetes, but it's the same general setup...

Which course are you doing? Is it Second Nature or what provider? I thought of doing it online a couple of years ago - this was not Second Nature but Ovivo (?) - but it turned out that I would have to log every detail of my life including every 200ml of water I drank, and as I already log...

I've booked the face-to-face group. It starts on April 2nd when I talk to someone on the phone for 20 mins. After that, there are a number of two-hour group sessions.

That's brilliant and I think I will do the same. No reason not to try it just because I have low expectations (for some reason I always feel guilty about that). Thank you.

The recommended breakfast of 5% Greek yogurt with frozen fruit and fibre, plus some chicken breast for even more protein, a small black coffee and maybe an apple -...

I'm not tempted but will not decide today. I have read more on that Healthier You site and see there are three options: online with Zoom, which sounded interesting but is for people who have particular reasons not to handle "digital" or have poor English, so that's not me; a local face-to-face...

This somewhat overlaps with a post I have just added to the November 2024 thread on the same topic. I have just been invited to join the NHS Healthier You 9-month programme. This happened a year or two ago too, and I did not follow the programme after finding out it was based on the Eatwell...

Thanks.

Should I open a new thread? I came here to find others' impressions of the NHS "Healthier You" 9-month plan for prediabetics. A couple of years ago I was offered this and investigated the online version - it would have made me log everything double (i.e. I already log every possible thing but I...

Hi - I have just joined the forum. I have been diagnosed with prediabetes. I am 76 and very overweight (127 kg). In 2021 my blood test revealed Hb1ac of 40, now in 2023 the figure is 47 although my weight was the same. I am being put on the Oviva programme - haven't yet really understood it -...
