A New Way of Learning
Understanding Your Diabetes Journey
Your Diabetes Journey Membership
“Diabetes conversations to help make your diabetes clearer.”
A membership shaped by your questions — starting with a Foundation Library of 12.
Why this is different?
This isn't a Non-Practising Diabetes Clinical Practitioner of nearly 35 years telling you how to look after yourself and your Type 2 diabetes.
It's not a patient-structured education tool based on the idea that one size fits all.
It's an opportunity to talk to you — the person living with diabetes — to recognise that you have already been doing a great job, while helping you with the areas you may not feel 100% sure about.
Never forget: you are the REAL expert in your life and in taking care of your diabetes.
You will always need the support of your Diabetes Health Team. What I offer is another way of learning — helping you understand the conversations, information and questions that matter to you.

Remember the conversation continues...
When a member asks a question, that question is not only answered personally, as a video and sent directly to you. It is then added to the library to help someone else understand their diabetes.
Your questions help guide future videos.

JUST A GENTLE NOTE
I am Maureen — The Diabetes Lady.
After nearly 35 years working in diabetes, I’ve learned that sometimes what people need first is a conversation,
not more information.
I have helped people understand their diabetes in a way that feels human, clear and relevant.
I do not diagnose, treat or give clinical advice.
I help you understand.
This is your diabetes journey.
I’m simply your travel guide — helping you find your way.
Empathy – Clarity – Action = Self-Empowerment
Empathy — being listened to and understood.
Clarity — making sense of your diabetes.
Action — deciding what feels right for you.

The Diabetes Lady is not here to replace your Diabetes Healthcare Team. I am here to help bridge the gap in understanding, helping you take back control of your diabetes and your life — without abandoning Your Diabetes Team. They are essential.
My role is to help you understand, ask questions and take informed action through conversations led by what matters to you.

People First - Proactive, not Reactive.
Empathy – Clarity – Action = Self-Empowerment.

Does this replace my Diabetes Healthcare Team?
Definitely not! The Diabetes Lady likes to explain diabetes in simple, plain English because understanding your diabetes can help you take back control of your life.
Your Diabetes Healthcare Team remains essential.
The Diabetes Lady is here to help bridge the gap in understanding, not replace the people who care for your health.
What does membership include?
Video access and the opportunity to submit their burning questions.
Whereupon you receive a free video answer, this is then placed in the Membership Library - not the Foundation Library.
Building a Peron-Led Diabetes Video Collection.
How do payments, cancellation and access work?
- You decide on if you want to receive 1 or 2 Videos a month - the access buttons are at the top of this Page.
- You will be asked for basic details: Full name and email address
- This will take you to payment page and you pay your payment.
- That then gives you access to the videos, and you choose what you would like to watch?
Will my questions remain private?
Please remember:
There may be a lot of people with the same question, although they may ask it differently. Your video answer may help others who are wondering about the same thing.
Your identity will not be revealed, so anyone watching the video will not know it was your question.
