“I think the Defeat Diabetes program is absolutely incredible. The information provided and clear explanations of the science is second to none. My failures in making more improvements to my health are mine alone but having re-read Dr. Brukner's appeal to the Australian Government I'm determined to start over and really make some headway this year.”

“Cannot speak too highly of the programme. For the first time ever I had information explaning clearly the causes and effects of T2 Diabetes (I no longer have it) and the real issue of insulin resistance.”

Mick, that’s fantastic to hear – and even better to hear you no longer have type 2 diabetes! Knowing the why behind it all really does make the difference, especially when it comes to insulin resistance. We're so glad the program helped connect the dots and put you back in control. Thanks for the kind words – and well done! - Defeat Diabetes Team

“Yesterday I listened to the webinar between Peter and Belinda Fettke which was just mind boggling as to the control over the medical profession including GP's and Dieticians that the various US Religious organisation have around the World. It clearly showed why there is so much resistance by the medical establishment amd dieticians in Australia to Defeat Diabetese advice. We need to brain storm how to get your message into the media and Government circles. Perhaps a past TV News Director or Government Media advisor could be employed to advise how to put the message on Four Corners, A Current Affair or 60 Minutes for a start. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease.”

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, Robert. That webinar with Dr Brukner and Belinda Fettke certainly opened a lot of eyes – it's staggering how deep the influence goes and how it’s shaped the advice many still follow today. We completely agree: more people need to hear the truth. We’re working hard behind the scenes to amplify our message, and your ideas are spot on. Getting this into the media and government spotlight could be a real game-changer – and yes, we need to be that squeaky wheel! Thanks for your support and passion – it really helps drive us forward. - Defeat Diabetes Team

“After been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 3 years ago, I found the Defeat Diabetes web page. After joining the program and following the wonderful recipes, and stories from other diabetic's. I was able to go into diabetic remission with in 6 months. I was over the moon, very proud of myself. My doctor could not believe my test results. This all happened because Dr Peter Brukner and his wonderful staff. My sugar readings are alwys between 4.5 5.5mmol/I eachtime i test. Dont get me wrong, I work very hard looking after my self, and yes sometimes i do full, but i just do better with my net meal.”

“I've been following the DD program for almost 2 years now, and it has changed my life. Having had T2 diabetes for 8 previous years, which was gradually getting worse, with meds ever increasing, I'm now delighted to be in remission and off all medication - all down to a great GP, and the DD program. The support from DD is amazing, and very informative. I learnt so much from the lessons when first joining the program, and it made so much sense, which made following the program easy. When the science is explained to you in an understandable way, making positive changes becomes easier. I love the fact that I'm eating delicious real food, knowing that I'm doing the right thing for my health.”

Sharon, this is such an inspiring story – remission after 8 years of type 2 and off all meds is truly life-changing! It’s amazing what can happen when you have the right guidance, a supportive GP, and a program that actually makes sense. We couldn’t agree more – when the science is clear and the food is real and delicious, sticking with it becomes so much easier. Thank you for being part of the DD community and for showing others what’s possible! - Defeat Diabetes Team

“This is the easiest program to follow. For $99 a year there is education, recipes and support provided. I highly recommend this program for everyone. I discuss it with friends and contacts. Dr Brukner and colleagues Thank you. I joined around 3 years ago. Both husband and I are in remission and have lost weight.”

“I joined Defeat Diabetes, just over a year ago. The videos by Dr Peter Brukner, Dr Paul Mason & Nicole Moore, accredited low-carb dietician, were eye-opening. I am grateful to all of them for imparting their scientific knowledge, explaining the detrimental effects of blindly following the standard dietary guidelines, busting the myths of high LDL, and simplifying the low-carb/keto lifestyle, which I have now embraced. I also find the ongoing webinars helpful. Dr Brukner’s book “A Fat Lot of Good” was a great source of information, when I began my low-carb journey. Defeat Diabetes has been instrumental in sending my diabetes into remission after thirty one years, quite a remarkable feat! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Dr Brukner & your brilliant team!”

“When it was launched, it caught my eye, it was a different perspective to the usual information. After reading what I could and understanding what was being said, especially from a renown sports doctor, who just happened to be associated with Liverpool FC, as I follow Liverpool, I knew I should give it a chance. The information regarding diabetes was targeted at type 1, type 2 is so different, thus you need a different approach. I joined with an open mind, as my BBL was up and down dramatically, plus I felt awful. So I hit it hard and noticed changes happening within 3 weeks, more energy, weight loss and I felt good. Carefully following the meal recipe's I lost over 32kg, and BBL dropped to 6.1 from 9.5. It can get hard, but stick at it and you will certainly feel and see the changes. It is life changing, and for the better.”

“The defeat diabetes program was a life saver for me when I really needed it. I was diagnosed with a HbA1c of 10.5 , random BS of 20, high cholesterol, bit D in my boots . Metabolic syndrome +++. I adopted a low carb regime and turned my health around. Defeat diabetes made it much easier, lots of support and evidence based information that I used to help me. I have reversed my very poor health and outlook . Very pleased.”

“I was a classic Type 2 Diabetes person. I didn't have a clue about diet and the medical profession wasn't leaping in to give me any sort of structure. Most professionals at doctor and nurse level were resigned to me being resigned to increase my medication and when that stopped working change to something else. Defeat Diabetes gave me both a structure and support mechanism. I am not that precise but the low carb approach was my salvation. I got to 5.6 from 8.2 and have hung just under 6. I lost 16 kilos and maintained it. DD I believe has saved my life”

Wow Robert – what an incredible turnaround! Thank you for sharing your story. It’s so common to feel lost in the system, with no clear guidance beyond more meds. But you took charge, found the structure and support you needed, and your results speak for themselves: from 8.2 to 5.6, 16 kilos down, and steady. That’s no small feat – and we’re so proud to have been part of your journey. You’ve truly shown what’s possible with the low carb approach. - Defeat Diabetes Team

“A great program for anyone who is committed to controlling their blood glucose levels and preventing potential complications caused by diabetes. Comprehensive information from the online lessons and videos, great recipes to provide inspiration for a varied, low carb way of eating and the Defeat Diabetes online community for support are crucial aspects of the programme . I have been a member for over 2 years now and still regularly use the recipes provided. Recipes are constantly added to keep the variety going. I have lost a total of 14kg and my HbA1c is under the Diabetic threshold. I am not perfect, sometimes I will indulge in a treat meal but DD has reinforced that getting back on track straight away is the best way to maintain my health.”
