Book a 1 to 1 Consultation
Living with type 1 diabetes is highly individual. What works well for one person may not work for another, which is why these consultations are centred around you, your diabetes and what you would like to achieve.
I bring together 40 years of experience as an NHS doctor, many years of clinical work with type 1 diabetes, and my own lived experience of managing the condition.
During your 40-minute online consultation, we can explore the aspects of your type 1 diabetes that matter most to you.
Rather than looking at glucose levels in isolation, I take a broader approach based around the Five Foundations of Health — helping us consider the different factors that may be influencing your diabetes, health and day-to-day wellbeing.
This is very much a conversation. There is no standard programme that everyone is expected to follow.
What to Expect
1 to 1 consultations are designed to help you get started, troubleshoot challenges and move forward with clarity.
Every session is tailored to your individual needs.
Focused on You
Your goals, challenges and questions guide the conversation.
Practical Guidance
Clear, evidence-informed strategies you can apply straight away.
Insulin Optimisation
Understand how to use as much insulin as needed, as little as possible.
Metabolic Flexibility
Explore nutrition and lifestyle approaches that support your body and goals.
Next Steps
Leave with clarity and a plan for moving forward.
Before you Book
Read Shifting Gears
It is highly recommended that you read Shifting Gears before booking a consultation. This will help you get the most from our time together.
Prepare your Questions
Think about the areas where you would like support — insulin optimisation, nutrition, cholesterol, hypos, metabolism or anything else you would like to discuss.
Have Key Information Ready
If available, have recent glucose data, your current insulin regimen and any relevant medical information ready so we can make the best use of your session.
