About Us

Real Help. Real Life. Right When You Need It.

 

Managing Type 2 diabetes shouldn’t feel like guesswork — especially when it comes to food. The T2 Diabetes Food Assistant was created to give you clear, personalised, and culturally relevant support, right in the moment you need it.

No more confusion. No more generic advice. Just smart, straightforward guidance — all through WhatsApp.

🧠 Why We Built This

As diabetes practitioners and educators working in NHS Type 2 diabetes prevention and remission programs, we’ve seen first-hand how overwhelming managing food can be — especially for people from underserved and diverse communities.

We realised most people aren’t lacking motivation. They’re lacking real-time support that fits into their actual lives. That’s why we built a tool that:

  • Answers your food questions instantly

  • Works with the meals you actually eat

  • Helps you shop, cook, eat out, or stay on track while travelling

  • Doesn’t require downloading a new app or learning anything new

Because let's be honest:

Your GP has 10 minutes. Our assistant is with you 24/7.

 

📲 How It Works

Using WhatsApp — an app you already know — you can:

  • Send a photo of your plate or food label

  • Ask questions like “Can I eat this?” or “What’s a better swap?”

  • Get quick, practical advice designed to support better blood sugar management

Most diabetics are told ‘just eat better’ — T2 tool gives 24/7 personalised guidance to help you actually do it. 

🌍 Supports Underserved Communities

Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects Black, African, Caribbean, South Asian and other underserved communities.

But most advice ignores culture, budget, and real-world food options.

We’re changing that, one plate at a time with personalised advise that considers your specific needs and diet.

You can communicate with the T2 Tool in ANY language.

As diabetes educators we also know that most diabetes education and guidance is in English, this often excludes communities where English is not the first language. 

With the T2 Diabetes Food Assistant, you can communicate in any language and get the support you need.
