Birmingham Diabetes Dietitian

About Spooner Nutrition

I’m Carolyn, a registered dietitian specialising in diabetes. With extensive NHS experience and a private practice, I provide personalised, evidence-based nutrition support to help people manage diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic health with confidence.

In 2020, I became a qualified non-medical prescriber, and my work has been presented at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference and published in Diabetic Medicine.

Before training as a dietitian, I spent several years as a chef in fine dining kitchens, giving me a unique perspective on the science, creativity, and enjoyment of food. I retrained in dietetics and qualified in 2008, combining culinary expertise with nutrition science.

At Spooner Nutrition, my aim is to help you feel confident in your eating without judgment, fad or extremes.
