“I would like to say what a fantastic thing that these meetings are. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 2 years ago and believed that I didn’t have a clue what it meant or how I managed it until today.”

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to the whole EMPOWER team. I’ve been really worried about my newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. But today’s course has given me some fantastic knowledge and I feel a little easier now on how to get started. Thank you, it’s a crazy time at the moment, but I wanted you to know you really have made a difference to my life and how I was feeling, lots of positive changes to start. Thanks again. You guys are amazing. Stay safe.”
