Care boundaries
A practical consultation, not a generic diet sheet
The consultation starts with your personal context, health history, current treatment, and food routine. The advice is designed to support safer everyday choices, not to replace diagnosis or prescribing care.
Important boundaries
This service does not replace urgent medical care. Dr. Hakeem provides dietetic nutrition support within applicable professional scope. Diagnosis, prescribing, medication changes, and urgent symptoms should be handled by your GP, specialist, prescribing clinician, NHS 111, or emergency services as appropriate.
FAQ
Common questions
Can a dietitian help with prediabetes?
Yes. A dietitian can help you build a practical food pattern that supports blood sugar control, weight goals when relevant, and sustainable lifestyle change.
Will I have to stop eating South Asian foods?
No. The consultation focuses on portions, balance, timing, cooking methods, and realistic swaps rather than removing cultural foods entirely.
Should I bring blood test results?
Recent HbA1c, cholesterol, kidney function, blood pressure, and medication information can help shape safer, more relevant nutrition advice.
