Educate not medicate

X-PERT Health is an award-winning UK based charity. We aim to help transform people’s lives through inspirational diabetes, insulin and weight loss education programmes. We support people with prediabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (newly diagnosed or established), obesity, and anyone overweight.

X-PERT stands for ‘Expert Education versus Routine Treatment’. Our programmes offer choice with flexible and personalised solutions. We believe that food-related education and wellbeing support helps make us all healthier.

16.7 million UK people either have Type 2 diabetes or are at risk (Diabetes UK, 2019). However, diabetes isn’t just a problem in the UK. Globally there are approximately 463 million adults living with diabetes and it is predicted that this will rise to 700 million by 2045 (IDF, 2020). People living with diabetes see a healthcare professional for as little as 3 hours each year and have to manage the condition themselves for the remaining 8,757 hours.

Proven Clinical Effectiveness: We pride ourselves on delivering effective approaches that help make a difference to people’s lives. Year-on-year our audit results have demonstrated that our programmes help people lose weight, improve their HbA1c, reduce medications and place conditions such as prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes into remission.

Our programmes also support the government’s current initiative of greater focus on education and awareness to help control the cost of health care. Education not medication means reducing NHS costs.

Experienced and Trusted: We are trusted by the NHS, and work with lots of organisations such as Councils, Charities, health professionals and employers in order to reach patients, communities and workforces.
