Personalised Nutrition for Better Metabolic Health

At Health Hatch, our Registered Dieticians create personalised nutrition plans based on your blood reports, medication, dietary habits, lifestyle and health goals. Our approach is designed for people managing insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and diabetes alongside PCOS, fatty liver, weight concerns or fertility goals.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells respond less effectively to insulin. As insulin becomes less effective, the body may need to produce more insulin to maintain blood glucose levels. Over time, this can contribute to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance can also occur alongside PCOS, fatty liver and other metabolic conditions.

Who Is This Programme For?

  • Insulin resistance or prediabetes
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Elevated HbA1c or fasting glucose
  • PCOS with insulin resistance
  • Fatty liver with metabolic concerns
  • Diabetes and fertility planning
  • Weight-related metabolic concerns
  • Anyone wanting to improve long-term cardiometabolic health

What Does Your Nutrition Plan Focus On?

We look at:

  • Carbohydrate quality and portion sizes
  • Protein intake and fibre
  • Meal composition and meal timing
  • Added sugars and highly processed foods
  • Physical activity, sleep and weight management where appropriate

There is no single ideal diet for everyone with diabetes. Nutrition should be individualised according to your health, preferences, medications and metabolic goals.

Can You Eat Rice and Roti With Diabetes?

Yes. You do not necessarily need to eliminate traditional Indian staples. The focus is on what you eat, how much you eat, what you combine it with, and how your body responds. Your plan can include foods such as rice, roti, dal, dosa, idli, vegetables, curd, paneer and legumes.

Insulin Resistance and Fertility

Metabolic health can be particularly relevant for women with PCOS or those preparing for pregnancy. If you are trying to conceive, your nutrition plan may need to address both metabolic health and reproductive health. This is why Health Hatch connects insulin resistance, PCOS and fertility rather than treating them as completely separate nutrition problems.
