Paul inspired to ditch diabetes by local health initiative
After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Kidlington resident Paul Willems was inspired to change his life for the better following a referral to the Move Together scheme.
“When I was diagnosed, I was worried about my health.” Paul reflected, “I felt well but knew I needed to be more active and get the motivation to make much-needed changes.”
To help Paul kickstart his journey of health he was referred to a dietary and lifestyle session held by Move Together, a programme that is coordinated by Active Oxfordshire and Cherwell District Council in north Oxfordshire.
This session was a catalyst for Paul to see how he could use his interest in fitness to develop healthy habits and transform his life.
Paul continued: “Attending Move Together and seeing all the different activities and memberships on offer in my local area really inspired and showed me that it was possible to take control of my health and turn my diagnosis around.”
