Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="purplekat" data-source="post: 283583" data-attributes="member: 34595">Has anyone been through the NHS's Weight Management Service that they offer?  I only heard about it through a friend who'd also been diagnosed diabetic at the same time as me, so asked my doctor to refer me.  My first appointment is this Tuesday - excited but nervous at the same time, and would love to hear from anyone who's gone through the programme.In case anyone else hasn't heard about it, the very rough description is  that it's a programme that helps you (over a period of 4 months or longer I think) to change your eating behaviour and physical activity levels, while develop confidence and the skills to change unhelpful habits.  I can't remember the full details, but I believe in my area anyway sometimes they run an exercise class with it, and sometimes they have a psychologist in to gives talks on various related topics.  Fortnightly appointments for the first 4 months, and think they are all 90 mins long.Really hoping this helps me, as I know a lot of the information about healthy diet etc, but putting it into practice is eluding me somewhat  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /></blockquote>
