Our culture and values

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.

According to recent data (Diabetes UK 2021-2022), it’s estimated that 4.3 million people in the UK live with diabetes, which is at an all-time high.

Additionally, 850,000 people could be living with diabetes who are yet to be diagnosed.

On average people living with diabetes only spend 3 hours a year with a healthcare professional. Most of these individuals manage their condition themselves. 

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.
