Jake works with the full spectrum of diabetes and blood glucose conditions. Every plan is clinician-designed, evidence-based, and built around your specific diagnosis and lifestyle.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is significantly influenced by nutritional patterns. The right clinical nutrition approach can produce meaningful improvements in HbA1c and insulin sensitivity alongside medical management.
Type 1 Diabetes
Managing nutrition with Type 1 requires precision including carbohydrate counting, insulin-to-carb ratios, and strategies to prevent hypoglycaemia without compromising quality of life. Jake builds nutrition plans for effective diabetes treatment and management.
Diabetes is a metabolic condition, which means what you eat, when you eat it, and how your body processes it directly determines how well the condition is managed. This isn’t supplementary to your medical treatment. It’s central to it.
Jake works alongside your GP, endocrinologist, or Diabetes educator: not in competition with them. His role is to translate the clinical evidence into a practical, personalised nutrition strategy that makes your day-to-day management simpler and more effective.
