The Diabetic Health Coach for Women
living with diabetes on their journeys to improved health and well-being.
Emma Nicholls, the βDiabetic Duchessβ is a Health Coach and, the Founder of Your Red Dress Ltd; a company which supports diabetics and their loved ones, on their journeys to improved health and wellness.
Emma herself, has lived with Type One Diabetes for over 44 years.
My Story:
I have been a type one diabetic for over 4 decades.
For many of those years, I was NOT compliant,,
I was a BAD diabetic.
I knew what I 'should ' do but something else always got in the way;
my successful career, my social life and my relationships.
As a result, in my early 50s, I was faced with the prospective of facing my latter years
with chronic kidney disease and poor eyesight.
At that time I was offered a simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant.....
Maybe my medical team thought that I was beyond hope!
Something made me question this approach and challenge what might be possible.
I started a period of frenzied research and ultimately decided not to progress with this form of treatment.
Instead, I decided to quite simply change my life, to no longer be a 'victim' of this condition but a believer that it was in fact, a blessing!'
I did a number of things that changed my life:
The results have been incredible:
- I have a new sense of energy and motivation
My HbA1c is below 5.8 (it was above 8 for most of my life)
- I sleep for at least 7 hours and wake up early with a renewed energy
- I have lost 8 kg (although weight loss was not the main goal but a welcome side effect
- my kidney function has improved (something I was told would not be possible)
- my glucose time in range has drastically improved from 55% to 93%
- I have changed my body's composition; I have increased my muscle density
and reduced body fat π
- I feel more relaxed and, in control; I feel like i can do anything!
This is why I am inspired to support other diabetic women on their journeys through
life, health, nutrition and fitness coaching.
This is my story BUT:
Every diabetic woman is unique, as a health coach, I refer to this as bio-individuality, and that you will have your own story and unique goals.
That is why I only work with individual motivated clients on a one to one basis to help them develop their own unique journey of discovery to improved health, fitness and nutrition.
I work with clients on-line or in person.
No AI, No bots, No Apps!
