About me

Hello, name is Donatella and I'm an NHS accredited Health Coach based in the UK.

In October 2024, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Despite my professional background in nutrition, the news left me worried.

There is so much conflicting advice out there, and even with years of training, it was hard to know what to trust.

I used my nutrition background to dig into the research to work out what actually works for lowering blood sugar. 

I gave myself two weeks to try a different route first: managing my blood glucose through food alone.

If I am honest, I did not fully expect it to work. But within a short time, my HbA1c began dropping, and it kept dropping. 

I have since achieved full remission from Type 2 diabetes, through food choices alone, without calorie restriction.

Once people around me heard about my results, requests for help started coming in. That is what led me to specialise as a Type 2 diabetes remission coach.

Since then, I have continued studying the science of diabetes in depth, so that the guidance I offer is both evidence-based and genuinely practical for everyday life.

Today, I run a dedicated Type 2 Diabetes Coaching programme.

I support people with T2 diabetes in the UK and beyond to build the knowledge and confidence they need to take control of their blood glucose, and even achieve remission.

If you are ready to take the first step toward lower blood glucose, I would be glad to support you on that path.
