A NEW WAY OF LEARNING
Understanding Your Type 2 Diabetes Journey
Your Diabetes Type 2 Journey Membership
Person-led learning, built from real questions.
For people with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and their friends and family.
A membership shaped by your questions.
We start with a Foundation Library of 12 videos about Type 2 diabetes.
Why this is different?
I’m Maureen, The Diabetes Lady. I’m not here to tell you how to look after your Type 2 diabetes.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all course either.
It’s about you, the person living with diabetes. You’ve already been doing a great job, and I’m here to help with the parts you don’t feel so sure about.
You are the real expert in your life.
You will always need your Diabetes Health Team. What I offer is another way of learning, so you can understand the information and ask the questions that matter to you.

Ask Your Own Question
Got a question you’ve been too shy to ask? Members can send it in.
I’ll answer with a video, sent just to you by email, at no extra cost.
Then it joins the Membership Library, built from real people’s questions, not from a textbook. It’s person-led, not clinician-led. Nobody will know it was your question.
Your questions help me decide which videos to make next.
A Gentle Note
After nearly 50 years in nursing, 35 of them in diabetes, I’ve learned that people often need a conversation before they need more information.
I do not diagnose, treat or give clinical advice. I help you understand.
These videos are made for Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. If you live with Type 1, please speak with your own diabetes team.
This is your Type 2 diabetes journey, and I’m simply your travel guide.
Empathy: being listened to and understood.
Clarity:
making sense of your diabetes.
Action:
deciding what feels right for you.
Empathy – Clarity – Action = Self-Empowerment: Taking Back Control
Frequently Asked Questions?
Who is The Diabetes Lady?
Maureen has nearly 50 years of nursing experience, including 35 years specialising in diabetes nursing. She is no longer a registered nurse and does not provide personal clinical advice. Instead, she aims to make understanding Type 2 diabetes easier.
What is The Diabetes Lady attempting to do?
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.
Who is the membership for?
Prediabetes, newly diagnosed or long-standing Type 2 diabetes, plus friends and family.
These videos are made for Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. If you live with Type 1, please speak with your own diabetes team.
What makes your approach different?
People First: Proactive, not Reactive.
Empathy – Clarity – Action = Self-Empowerment.
What topics can I learn about?
Your Foundation topics, remission, complications and new developments.
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 to the Foundation Library. As a member, you can also send in your own burning questions, and I’ll answer with a video by email at no extra cost.
Your question then joins the Membership Library. It’s built from real questions from real people, so it’s person-led, not clinician-led.
How do payments, cancellation and access work?
- Decide whether you want 1 or 2 videos a month. The membership buttons are at the top of this page.
- You’ll be asked for basic details: full name and email address.
- This takes you to the payment page, where you pay.
- That gives you access to the videos, and you choose what you’d like to watch.
You can change or cancel any time.
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.
Please leave out names and personal details, yours or anyone else’s, when you ask.
You will receive your recorded video directly by email, and your answer becomes part of person-led diabetes empowerment in action!
What’s coming next?
A live, person-led Diabetes Conversation with The Diabetes Lady, opening in December 2026.
