GESTATIONAL DIABETES DIETITIAN
Gestational diabetes support that looks after you and your baby, not just your blood sugars.
Just diagnosed and feeling worried or guilty? It's not something you did wrong. I'm a specialist diabetes dietitian with extra training in prenatal nutrition, so I help you steady your blood glucose and make sure you and your baby get the nutrients you need.

Why a specialist matters
You should see a dietitian. Not every dietitian specialises in both diabetes and pregnancy.
In the UK NICE guidance says women diagnosed with gestational diabetes should be referred to a dietitian. What that looks like varies a lot. Depending on where you live, it may be a group education session, which can feel general rather than personal, and waits can be long. The dietitian you see may not specialise in diabetes or in pregnancy.
Your midwife and doctor are excellent, but nutrition isn't their training. In an ideal world you'd have a specialist dietitian who understands both diabetes and pregnancy. That's what I offer, alongside your existing antenatal team.
What makes my support different
Diabetes & pregnancy together
I've worked with people with diabetes since 2014, and in antenatal diabetes clinics since 2015, supporting women with gestational and pre-existing diabetes.
More than blood sugars
I've completed extra training in prenatal nutrition, so while we steady your glucose, I'll support you so that you and your baby still get the nutrients you both need. It's easy to miss key nutrients when you're focused on carbs.
Technology and medication
Experience with continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and diabetes medications, and years of teaching carbohydrate counting. If you're on metformin or insulin, I understand how it fits with your food.
Real life, not rules
I'm a mum of two who knows how it feels. We build a plan around your food, culture, routine and energy, without judgement or guilt.
Support that goes beyond the birth
Gestational diabetes can raise your chance of type 2 diabetes later, so I help you plan for after your baby arrives, including breastfeeding, recovery and your baby's first foods.
How it works

Free 15 minute chat
Tell me about your diagnosis and what's worrying you.

Your first consultation
We go through your readings, food, culture, routine and nutritional needs. You leave with a personalised plan you can start using straight away, and a written summary.

Before we meet
I'll send a short pre-consultation survey and ask you to keep a food diary for 5 to 7 days, along with any blood glucose readings you have. Honest is best so I can offer you the best advice.

Ongoing support
Your readings and your pregnancy change, so we review, adjust and keep you feeling in control.
All appointments are online, so you can get specialist support from home.

Kind words from the women I've supported.
"She was the saviour in my GDM journey."
She was warm and compassionate, making me feel very supported through the journey. She tailored her advice and guidance to my individual dietary requirements and lifestyle and was always available to answer my questions
What could have been an overwhelming experience felt much more manageable with Tazmin by my side. She provided expert advice, adjusted my meal plans, and helped me understand how to keep my blood sugar levels stable, all while making sure I was still enjoying my food and staying healthy

The practical advice on what foods to swap and how to manage portions. Which fruits are best to eat with breakfast. Getting support from Tazmin has been invaluable. It's made such a difference to my dad's life
TYPE 2 DIABETES CLIENT
I've been working in specialist diabetes clinics since 2015, I have worked with both adults and children. That includes type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, using continuous glucose monitors, insulin pump therapy, and teaching carbohydrate counting.
There's no one-size-fits-all diet for diabetes. I take a full history and look at your whole life to build a plan that keeps your blood sugars steady while meeting your nutritional needs, and I work alongside your diabetes team, including if a medication review is needed.
