Pre-diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, High cholesterol

Get back control of your health by managing your blood sugar and cholesterol levels better.

Have you been told that you have poor blood sugar control or high HbA1c?*  If you have a diagnosis of pre-diabetes or diabetes**, this means your body is unable to manage the amount of sugar / carbohydrates that you are currently consuming, and this is causing damage to you, which will progress over time.  Having pre-diabetes / diabetes significantly increases your risk of developing other serious conditions such as heart disease, metabolic syndrome, having a stroke, chronic kidney disease, damage to nerves, damage to sight, problems with feet as well a mental health issues.

The approach to prevention of diabetes and reversal of type 2 diabetes can be completely successful through changes to diet and lifestyle.  Changing your diet and eating foods that heal rather than harm you is key to your recovery.  I can give you that support.  To make permanent changes to the way you eat can feel a little overwhelming, but with the right help you can be successful in finding your way back to full health.

You can take control of your health by with the support of a qualified experienced nutritional therapist can make the difference between success or failure.

*Haemoglobin A1c is a biomarker – it is a measurement of the amount of sugar attached to haemoglobin in a red blood cell. Sugar (glucose) molecules become attached to protein and other structures when there is too much sugar in blood – it’s a short-term emergency process to protect your body from the toxic effects of high blood sugar.  As a red blood cell has a finite life span (120 days), it looks back in time at blood sugar control.

**Diabetes doesn’t appear out of nowhere!  Although there are medical definitions of pre-diabetes (HbA1c >42 mmol/L (%) and <48mmol/L (%)) and diabetes (HbA1c >48mmol/L (%)), poor blood sugar management occurs over years, even decades, and recognition that the numbers used are somewhat arbitrary is important, and to intervene before a diagnosis is made – being proactive with your health is the key to success.

FAQs — Healthy Blood Sugar & Diabetes Support

Yes — nutritional therapy can play an important supporting role for many people with elevated blood sugar, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Through tailored diet and lifestyle strategies, the aim is to improve insulin sensitivity, stabilise glucose levels, reduce blood sugar swings, and support metabolic health. In many cases, working with a practitioner can help reduce reliance on medications (under medical supervision), and significantly improve your metabolic health.
Possibly. Diagnostic or functional tests (e.g. HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, lipid panel, micronutrient levels) can provide useful insights into how your metabolism is functioning. These tests help us personalise your nutritional plan. But they’re optional — we can begin with evidence-based strategies using what we know, and introduce testing only when it adds clear value.
Not necessarily. While lowering refined carbs and choosing high-fibre, low-glycaemic carbs is often beneficial, the goal is to find a sustainable balance tailored to your health, preferences, and lifestyle. Some people do better with a moderate carbohydrate approach rather than extreme restriction. Over time, the plan may be adjusted to find what works best for you long term.
Results vary depending on individual factors such as baseline blood sugar levels, adherence, medications, metabolic health, and lifestyle. Many people see meaningful improvements (less fluctuation, lower fasting glucose, better energy) within 4–8 weeks when following a personalised plan consistently. Deeper changes, like improved HbA1c or reversal of insulin resistance, often require 4–6 months or more of sustained effort and support.
Maintaining results is built into the plan. You’ll be equipped with strategies to:
  • Choose the right macronutrients, ensuring you are achieving a balance of protein, healthy fats and fibre
  • Time your meals to meet your personal metabolic needs – this is very personal to you, e.g., some people do very well not having breakfast whilst others need to eat when they wake
  • Support gut health, sleep, stress, and physical activity
  • Monitor your body’s responses and adjust as needed
  • Use occasional “tune-ups” or follow-on sessions if your glucose balance starts slipping
Also, the 3-appointment programme (or multi-session packages) allow us to build the momentum, monitor progress, and refine your plan — giving you a stronger foundation for sustainable changes.
