Paediatric Diabetes Nutrition & Optimisation Programme 

Structured paediatric dietetic support for parents who want a deeper understanding of the factors that affect their child’s glucose levels and to feel more confident in managing diabetes day-to-day, including real-life challenges like parties, complex meals, school, sports and activity.

This programme goes beyond a single appointment, providing practical, individualised strategies grounded in paediatric diabetes practice.

Who this is for:

This programme is particularly suited to families who:
   •    notice unpredictable glucose patterns
   •    want structured support beyond one appointment
   •    would like a detailed review of meals, routines, and activity
   •    want greater confidence managing daily diabetes decisions
   •    are ready to implement realistic, sustainable changes

🔍 What’s included:

1. Pre-consultation assessment

After you book you will receive:

    •    a 7-day food and glucose record
   •    a detailed background questionnaire
   •    instructions for next steps and we will schedule your consultations.

2. 1:1 Initial Paediatric Dietetic Consultation (60 minutes)

A personalised session tailored to your child’s needs. Depending on agreed priorities, this may include:


   •    detailed nutrition assessment
   •    review of glucose patterns (CGM/ Pump)
   •    support with carbohydrate counting (including Level 3/ Advanced approaches where appropriate)
   •    everyday diabetes management (school, activity, routines)
   •    realistic nutrition and lifestyle goal setting

Not all areas are covered in one session – the focus is agreed together.

Please book your first appointment on a date that is at least 1 week after booking, so you can complete a food and glucose diary.

 

The following appointment will be booked when we meet online.

3. In-depth pattern analysis & professional review

After your appointment, I will review your child’s records and emerging patterns. This ensures guidance is based on real-life data and practical observations – not generic advice.

4. Personalised written action plan

You’ll receive a clear written summary highlighting:


   •    key observations
   •    agreed priorities
   •    practical next steps
   •    areas to monitor / review together

5. Follow-up review consultation (30 minutes)

We review:
   •    what is working well
   •    ongoing challenges
   •    areas that may benefit from further review

🌟 Why this programme is different


   •    deeper pattern review
   •    structured training & follow-through
   •    time to assess real-life responses
   •    individualised refinement

⚠️ Important note


All guidance is individualised and based on the information available at the time of consultation. This programme complements – and does not replace – your child’s diabetes medical team.
