About

Who I am, my experience and passion 

Nicola K Clarke Desk

Nicola K Černe BSc RD

Hi, I’m Nicola, a HCPC-registered dietitian specialising in diabetes, with over 10 years of clinical experience both within the NHS and private practice.

Diabetes has been my passion from the very beginning. I love supporting people at all stages of their journey, including those managing insulin therapy. My mission is to help people stabilise their blood sugars, improve their overall health, and ultimately live happier, fuller lives. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my clients achieve excellent diabetes control and break free from the daily stress and burden of the condition.

I founded NKC Nutrition after witnessing first-hand the challenges many people face, long NHS wait times and a flood of misinformation online. I wanted to create a place where people could access reliable, personalised advice quickly.

In 2025, I launched my first signature programme, The 5 Step Ultimate Blood Sugar Reset, a complete solution for those living with type 1 diabetes. This programme provides the tools and strategies needed to achieve over 70% time-in-range within just 3–6 months. It covers every aspect of living with type 1 diabetes, teaching you how to confidently manage insulin alongside your lifestyle — without restrictive diets or sacrificing the things you love.

I live in London with my husband, our baby boy, and my grown-up stepdaughter. Outside of work, I love travelling, playing sports, and spending time with my family. I feel privileged to work with people from all walks of life, helping them improve their relationship with food, their health, and their confidence.

I’m a strong advocate for mental wellbeing and take a holistic view of health — focusing not just on nutrition, but also on mindfulness, relaxation, sleep, movement, and stress management. I’m passionate about the principles of Intuitive Eating and empowering people to reconnect with food in a positive, balanced way.

Philosophy

My passion is supporting individuals to improve their health and wellbeing through straight-talking evidence-based advice. I have a wealth of knowledge and NHS experience working with individuals with diabetes and want to support more people to help achieve their goals.

Information online can be so contradictory. I believe dietary advice does not need to be complicated. I take a holistic approach, considering all aspects of our day-to-day lives to strive towards overall wellbeing. Please get in touch today to learn more!
