Case Study Clive Jones Retired church minister Clive had a health scare last summer, blood tests done at the time revealed he had higher than normal blood sugar results and was at risk of developing diabetes. My wife Lynne and I are part-time carers for our young granddaughter Lylah, so it’s hugely important that I stay fit and active, ”. “A Ministers life can be quite sedentary and I guess I’d slipped into some bad habits”. “It’s really helpful to have the support of Cathy and the group, there’s a friendly camaraderie and we’re all aiming for the same outcome. “I feel so much better for making just some simple life changes. ” A few months on and Clive has lost 18 lbs, wears his belt two notches tighter and no longer struggles to keep pace with the church walking group. He and Lynne also regularly swim, garden, cycle and walk. His blood sugar levels are decreasing and he credits the Healthier You group for his new-found lease of life.
