Diabetes & Prediabetes
Nutrition support for diabetes and metabolic health
Practical, evidence-based guidance for living with diabetes, prediabetes or insulin resistance, working alongside your doctor's care.
What you eat has a direct effect on blood glucose. But general advice such as "avoid sugar" rarely explains what to do at breakfast, how to handle roti and rice, or what to eat during Ramadan.
Hamna looks at your results, medicines and daily routine, then helps you build a pattern of eating that supports steadier blood glucose and fits your life. Nutrition care complements your medical treatment; it does not replace it.
Who this is for
This service may be right for you if:
- You have recently been told you have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
- You have had diabetes for some time and want clearer, practical guidance
- Your HbA1c, fasting glucose or cholesterol results have been rising
- You have insulin resistance, fatty liver or PCOS
- You want to plan meals safely around Ramadan, travel or family events
How assessment works
- 01
Results and medicines
Recent blood tests such as HbA1c and fasting glucose, and the medicines or insulin you take.
- 02
Daily routine
Meal timing, portion sizes, activity, sleep and work patterns.
- 03
Food preferences
Foods you eat regularly, cultural and family meals, and what you are willing to change.
- 04
Goals
What you and your doctor are aiming for, and what matters most to you.
What your plan includes
- Clear guidance on carbohydrate foods such as roti, rice and fruit
- Meal and snack structure that fits your medicines and routine
- Practical swaps based on foods you already eat
- Guidance for special situations such as fasting, illness days or celebrations
- Regular review of how your plan is working alongside your results
What to expect
Bring recent test results and a list of your medicines if you can.
Follow-ups review progress and any new results. Never stop or change prescribed diabetes medicine without speaking to your doctor.
