Colin, 70, Essex

"Before starting the programme, I was content to carry on putting my health at risk, even though I no longer had a medical reason for doing so. I feel that, had it not been for that wake-up call from the diabetic nurse, I would have carried on with that lifestyle. Since starting SN, everything about my health has improved! The recipes have completely changed the way I eat. I no longer have added sugar and enjoy balanced meals each day. This has also taken away the longing to snack."
