It is estimated that around 7 million adults in the UK have prediabetes. Approximately 88 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes.
However, more than 84% of people with prediabetes don't know they have it.
Risk Factors: Common risk factors for prediabetes include being overweight, being 45 years or older, having a family history of type 2 diabetes, having a sedentary lifestyle, and having a history of gestational diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Hi, I’m Shirley
Certified Health & Weight Coach - Founder of ShirleyWellness.com
A few years ago after my health coach training I decided to specialise in Diabetes Coaching. Family members who had recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes wanted my help. This was mainly because during the pandemic the help that was offered to them in the past simply stopped and had not restarted at all.
This led me to enhance my health coaching and started to work on the UK's NHS National Diabetes Prevention Programme in the Surrey area of the UK and still work on a consultancy basis for them.
I then realised that not everyone was able to attend a 9 month programme face to face at a local venue. I found that participants wanted a more personalised approach and sometimes they required a programme they could just dip into when they could fit it into their busy lives. I also found that participants were losing a significant amount of weight. So I launched my program.
What I Offer
- Support for Pre-Diabetes: Learn how to stabilize your blood sugar and prevent Type 2 diabetes with simple, sustainable changes.
- Guidance for Type 2 Diabetes: Discover strategies to reduce dependency on medications and improve your overall well-being.
- Empowering Education: Understand the "why" behind your food choices and how to navigate a healthy, low-sugar lifestyle.
You’re Not Alone in This Journey
My approach combines compassionate coaching with science-backed knowledge. I'll guide you every step of the way, helping you build habits that last for life.
“ When I contacted Shirley I made the decision to lose 3 Stone, but I didn’t actually believe that I could. The weight dropped off steadily every week, as I got nearer to my target weight, I was also able to stop my blood pressure tablets! I was so delighted!! The program was easy to follow and I looked forward to the weekly coaching sessions with Shirley”.

ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY
We work together to identify and explore any barriers to losing weight or possible causes of overeating which could be impacting your eating habits to lose weight.
"Before coaching with Shirley, I struggled with being overweight and understanding how to fuel my body and manage my emotions. Then Shirley taught me why I was using food, to try and maintain happiness. The 3 most significant results I've experienced from coaching with Shirley are losing 42 pounds (3 stone), how to maintain my weight loss but more importantly how to manage my mind and my thinking around food. What I loved most about coaching with Shirley is weekly one-to-one accountability that helped so much!"
