A nutritionist’s role in managing type 2 diabetes and prediabetes goes far beyond simply monitoring HbA1c or fasting glucose levels. A registered nutritionist helps identify and address the root causes of blood sugar imbalances by considering the whole person — including diet, stress, sleep, exercise, hormonal fluctuations, gut health, and other lifestyle factors that are often impacted by demanding lifestyles.

At Wellness with Ruchi, we create holistic, personalised, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle programmes designed to stabilise blood sugar and support long-term metabolic health. We have extensive experience of working with individuals who have a family history of cardiovascular conditions, persistent symptoms, or overlapping health issues such as high cholesterol or hypertension.

Standard advice often focuses on generic food swaps, calorie counting, or restrictive approaches. At Wellness with Ruchi, we take a more personalised and root-cause approach—looking at your full health picture, including symptoms, test results, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. We then design a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that works for you in real life - one that supports blood sugar balance, cardiovascular health, and long-term metabolic wellbeing, without relying on restrictive diets or unsustainable dietary recommendations.

Our aim is to not just manage numbers, but help you feel better every day.

We do not adopt a uniform approach to calorie or carbohydrate counting; however, these strategies can be incorporated if they align with your individual health needs and lifestyle preferences.

Our personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes prioritise dietary quality, macronutrient balance, and sustainable changes that are science-backed and designed to support long-term health - not just short-term fixes.

Nutritional therapy can play a powerful role in improving blood sugar control and overall metabolic health, often reducing the need for medication over time, although this varies on a case-by-case basis. While any changes to medication must be made in consultation with your GP or prescribing doctor, we work collaboratively with your GP / medical team to ensure a safe and coordinated approach.

We have experience of working with clients whose HbA1c levels have improved through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes, resulting in a reduction or in some cases, discontinuation of medication under medical supervision. Many also report more stable energy levels, less cravings, weight loss and greater confidence and joy in managing their health day to day.

Our metabolic health programmes which include support for pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are tailored to each client’s needs. Investment ranges from £497 to £1,000+, depending on your specific health concerns, diagnoses, goals, and the level of support required.

A nutritional therapist and a dietician both work to improve health through food, however their qualifications, regulation, and areas of work differ.

In the UK, registered dieticians are statutorily regulated healthcare professionals, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). A diabetes dietician would typically work in a clinical setting, such as the NHS, providing dietetic support and specialised nutrition advice for diabetes management, often as part of a hospital or multidisciplinary team.

Nutritional therapists (NT) are food and nutrition experts who can work with both groups and individuals in a clinical setting. Unlike dieticians, they do not diagnose or treat diseases. Instead, they use a functional medicine approach to assess the root causes of an individual’s symptoms, health concerns or diseases, while supporting clients in optimising overall health. Nutritional Therapy practitioners who have completed accredited training can register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT).
