diabetes management

I am a specialist diabetes dietitian with over 10 years’ experience of working with people with diabetes, helping you to understand the condition and enabling you to manage it effectively.

Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a condition that is hugely influenced by diet, lifestyle and body weight. It is clear that losing weight can improve type 2 diabetes. In fact, some studies and programmes have claimed that losing weight can reverse type 2 diabetes.

I can help you lose weight which may improve insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. I can suggest methods that will allow you to feel full, and will ensure that you receive all the nutrients your body needs. The same principles apply for preventing type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the body does not produce insulin, so it has to be injected. Matching insulin to the amount and type of carbohydrate can be challenging. I can teach you to do this, and formulate plans and ideas to make this easier when you’re at home or eating out.

I educate people using insulin pumps and am an expert on how to use different bolus types to match the different digestion rates of foods.
