Hello, my name is Antoinette Goodwill. I am passionate about helping people living with diabetes, achieving their health goals, through making lifestyle changes. I have worked for more than 10 years as a diabetes dietitian in the NHS. During this time, I worked as a supplementary prescriber, which helped me have a better understanding of diabetes medication.
Overall, I have more than 20 years of clinical experience working in the NHS. This includes working in renal and general practice clinics, seeing clients with various medical conditions including irritable bowel syndrome and coeliac disease.
One of my specialist interests is heart health. I have worked for many years in cardiac rehabilitation and in specialist lipid clinics.
All of this enables me to have a holistic approach to help you explore your food and lifestyle choices that suit you, your health and the medication you are taking.
Why see a dietitian?
Being a registered dietitian, as part of my personal development, I keep abreast of new research in diabetes and dietetics. As a dietitian, I am trained to help translate scientific evidence into easy understandable terms and advice which can be incorporated into an individual’s lifestyle.
