Control it plus

“I really wanted to take part in Control IT Plus to make sure that I understood what was going on with my diagnosis and what were the best lifestyle actions I could take. The information from the sessions was really good as we discussed topics like healthy eating, being active and looking after your feet.”
— Service User

“I felt both sessions where worthwhile in terms of consolidating what I knew and what I need to pay attention to and address. I look forward to receiving the information winging its way to me. I have started lifestyle changes and just need to get on with it now.”
— Service User

“I think it was helpful to have it with other people in the same situation – it helps to know that you are not alone. The clinicians delivering it were excellent. I did find it very helpful and everybody was pleasant.”
— Service User
