Beta Glyco was founded by two dedicated healthcare professionals with a background in clinical research and diabetes specialist nursing with a shared mission to- empower African and Caribbean communities to take charge of their health and thrive while living with diabetes.

With a combine experience of 15 years in clinical practice, our founders witnessed first-hand how Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects our communities- yet culturally relevant support is often missing. Too often, our community are given advice that doesn’t reflect their food traditions, family life, or the realities of day-to-day living.

That’s why we founded Beta Glyco — a community-based and personalised health initiative that delivers culturally tailored diabetes self-management, education and lifestyle programmes designed by and for African and Caribbean people.

Our approach goes beyond generic advice. We combine evidence-based clinical guidance with an understanding of our heritage, culture, and food. Through personalised subscription packages and group workshops to help you;

✅ Understand how to manage and even reverse Type 2 diabetes

✅ Adapt traditional African and Caribbean meals for better blood sugar control

✅ Stay active in ways that fit daily routines and community life

✅ Build confidence and long-term habits for better health outcomes

At the heart of what we do is community, compassion, and culture. We believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where people can learn, share, and grow together — because real change happens when knowledge meets cultural understanding.

Together, we’re helping our community move from managing diabetes to living well with confidence, joy, and balance.
