"Such a life changing experience! Although the start seems daunting, the support and continual communication was fantastic. The first 12 weeks will fly past and food reintroduction will be the start of an even better you. You will love the end results. After 12 months, I am in remission!"

"I previously thought I 'knew it all'. I had used several commercial plans before e.g. Weight Watchers etc. The Second Nature plan just clicked with me. I loved the fact that I wasn't calorie counting but learned how to make informed, long-term changes to my eating habits."

“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.”

"Just got my results today and my HbA1c is 42. How amazing is that!!! It is a fantastic programme that resets your life back on track. I am so chuffed and thank you so much for opportunity. Feeling brilliant."

"The Second Nature journey for me has been really good. I felt kind of lost with my blood sugars being all over the place and not knowing who to turn to. I didn’t want to be labelled as a ‘prediabetic’ and with the help of the programme, plus my own determination, I’ve been able to get my blood sugars back to normal. The peer support is very helpful as is the support of the coaches. Since joining, I’ve lost 17lbs. My fasting blood sugar was 6.9 and is now back to 5.4 and in the normal range. I wish I had known about Second Nature years ago!"

“Great service which provided individualised feedback and allows tracking of diet. The app is great to log all the required information as well as to access information on managing various aspects of diabetes. The service helped me realise how I could alter my diet. In a span of 4 months I was able to bring my HbA1c from 94 mmol/mol to 46 mmol/mol. The focused approach from the health coach has helped me achieve positive changes to my diet and health”

"Over the past year, I have found the program not only very helpful, but also inspirational on so many levels. Each member of the NHS team was at all times very supportive, understanding and available to discuss our individual needs, challenges and medical conditions. I am grateful that my health has improved and recognise that this would not have been possible had it not been for this program and the support of the team. A further special note of appreciation for the other participants in my group, who were all welcoming from the outset and equally supportive."

"I am thoroughly enjoying Second Nature and have gained so much from doing it. My blood sugar levels are normal as are my cholesterol levels. I have lost weight and become more informed about nutrition. The articles are great and easy to follow. Groups are great with support going both ways and the coaches are great and encourage and answer questions quickly. I enjoy the structure of the app, the recipes and how I can link in other health app’s like Google fit. I feel so much better in myself and still have a way to go on the programme. I have recommended it to a few people. Overall, I’m so thankful for the opportunity and so glad I'm doing it."

"Would highly recommend this programme. Fantastic support from all the team! I've learnt so much and hope to continue to thrive."

"The programme was first class. Very helpful. The team were very helpful in my weight loss, I can't thank them enough. Everything was excellent from start to finish. Thank you."
