Type 2 Diabetes
For those dreading the diabetic review and avoiding their doctors, why put up with a life of shame, blame and disempowerment when you can transform your life in a couple of hours?
Stop Being Treated Like a Problem That Needs Fixing
Get the Diabetes Education You Deserve (Without the Shame, Blame, and Weight Loss BS)
Sound Familiar?
☑️You're avoiding your diabetic review because you can't face another lecture about avoid sugary foods
☑️You canceled your appointment after receiving yet another weight loss recommendation
☑️You're on multiple medications but still getting told it's about "lifestyle choices"
☑️You feel like a failure every time you see your HbA1c results
☑️You're tired of being infantilized by healthcare professionals who treat you like a naughty child
☑️Instead of treatment suggestions, every conversation becomes about what YOU need to fix
Here's What They Don't Tell You
You're not the problem. Your diabetes is a medical condition that requires medical treatment.
What if I told you that you could walk into your next diabetic review feeling confident, informed, and empowered instead of ashamed, confused, and defensive?
Why This Course Exists
As a fat GP with type 2 diabetes, I've sat on both sides of the table. I've been in those waiting rooms and experienced that sense of dread and shame. I've also spent years treating diabetics. Over the last few years, I've been unpacking exactly what's wrong with how we approach diabetes care—and what actually helps.
This course exists because the diabetes clinic failed you. Not the other way around.
They gave you lifestyle advice and blamed you for any changes in your blood sugars without explaining the underlying pathology. They lectured you about setting goals when you needed straightforward medical information. They asked you to think about what your results "mean to you" when you needed someone to actually explain what the numbers represent. They treated your diabetes like a moral failing when you needed them to treat it like the complex metabolic condition it actually is.
This course is everything they should have given you but didn't.
What You'll Learn
-
The actual science of what's happening in your body. No moralizing, no judgment—just the facts about insulin resistance, pancreatic function, and why this is a disease process, not a character flaw.
-
Unpacking the shame, blame, and internalized stigma that came with your diagnosis. Understanding where these beliefs came from and why they're not serving you (or your health).
-
Real talk about what diabetes actually means for your health—not the fear-mongering version, not the "everything will be fine if you just lose weight" version. The evidence-based, realistic version that helps you make informed decisions.
-
Everything you need to know about diabetes medications: how they work, what the side effects really are, why certain drugs are prioritized over others (hint: it's not always about what works best), and how to advocate for the treatment you need.
-
Practical strategies for navigating your appointments with confidence. What questions to ask, how to respond when they blame everything on your weight, and how to get the medical care you deserve without accepting dismissive treatment.
-
Plus Bonus Content for those who want to dive deeper into specific topics.

Why This Works
-
Because I'm not just any doctor - I'm a fat doctor with type 2 diabetes who understands this from both sides. I know what the medical establishment gets wrong, and I know what actually helps.
-
Because this isn't about compliance - it's about understanding. You don't need to be a "better patient." You need information and tools to navigate a system that wasn't designed for you.
-
Because knowledge is power - when you understand what's actually happening in your body and what your treatment options really are, you can advocate for yourself effectively.
-
Because you deserve better - better than forms, better than lectures, better than being treated like a problem that needs solving.
