Is there a way of working learning nutrition without having to do 4 yrs uni and college I know quite a bit already jst would like to be able to help other diabetics avoid the mistakes I've made in the past and have a better life coz I
Know how hard it is when taking advice from a doc who doesn't suffer with diabetes and doesn't really help

I’m a secondary school food teacher and know that most jobs in nutrition would require college/university qualifications. There is a ncfe level 2 certificate in understanding nutrition and health (equivalent to a GCSE) you can do. Search it online.
Maybe ring your diabetes team to ask them if they know of any openings without qualifications.

You could also checkout jobs with diabetes uk.

The NHS employ healthcare assistants too, again, not sure what the route is and what options there are.

TBH, I’d expect most jobs that offer medical advice to diabetics will require a medical qualification of some description.

Good luck. And there are plenty useful websites out there to help search careers.
