Case Study – Carey W

A new stroke of health, just in time and feeling in charge of his future

Carey, 56, experienced a small stroke 2 years ago, a very common complication linked to type 2 diabetes. It was a sign and motivational push to seek help for his health. Diagnosed with diabetes 7 years ago, Carey had been making his own efforts to turn things around and whilst he was fit and knowledgeable about the disease, the insulin resistance that goes with both stroke and diabetes was not under control.

Carey joined the programme confident that the support that is built into the programme, would fill the gap to success. His HbA1c upon joining was sitting at 49mmol/L, at the top end of the prediabetes range. If he didn’t take action he would be facing a full diabetes diagnosis again and the threat of further vascular events such as stroke.

This would entail medications to control his insulin and Carey was not accepting of this path. He wanted to manage his diabetes without medication so he took on the programme with gusto and a determination to beat it quickly. He increased his exercise, changed his food, improved his sleep and decreased his stress levels all whilst following our step-by-step online programme.

After 6 months of following the plan, Carey is now officially non-diabetic. His weight whilst being in the ‘ok’ range to begin, is now in a very healthy and toned weight range. He is feeling fit and now in full control of his health and insulin resistance. 

With a HbA1c now sitting just below 40 and still heading down, he has found the success that was alluding him going it alone. With a plan to follow that he knew worked, Carey has a new confidence in his health. 

‘The education and support has been great and I know what to do going forward to keep my health maintained. I can recommend this programme to anyone who wants to turn their disease around and not do it on your own’ .
