“My diabetes journey is complicated by my kidney problems. Many of the food suggestions sound delicious but not appropraite for my kidney which is at present on 37 GFR. However, I modify a lot and basically having given up many carbs and eating lots of vegies and fruits both my diabetes and kidney are doing resonably well. I have lost weight and at 86 years of age I have a lot of energy which surprises me. Your program is good and very versatile. Keep it up.”

“Defeat Diabetes taught me everything about type 2 diabetes as I knew nothing about it, it was a foreign subject to me until my husband was diagnosed with it and I'm the one that cooks in the family. After a year my husband no longer has diabetes and has never taken medication for it. Thank you DD for sharing such important life saving information in simple language that I could understand”

“In 6 months I've lost 18kg, dropped 12cm from my waist measurement and my HbA1c is now down to 5.4. I feel better than I have in years. The support both through the app and inside the Facebook group is personal and one of the best I've experienced in any group I've been part of. Constant advice and encouragement.”

“I am 70 years old and don't have diabetes but my GP recommended lowering my carbs. I heard Peter on ABC radio Melbourne and was impressed - a local expert! I borrowed his book first from the library, then bought it, then became an online member. I did all the lessons and found them so helpful. When you understand "Why", it is so much simpler to be motivated to put the hard yards in to change your behaviour. I am sleeping better, my skin is better and my mood is better. And I absolutely appreciate how your desire to eat rubbish gets very, very small. That is true freedom. I will keep my online membership as it is like having your own personal cheerleader. On one of the videos an expert said we live in an obesogenic society - surrounded by a huge number of foods that can bring harm to our health. Imagine if they removed them all from our supermarkets? They would be small places indeed. Thanks so much to all the staff and to all the members who contribute to the success of Defeat Diabetes.”

“I didn't have Type 2 diabetes. I had insulin resistance, Metabolic syndrome high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, a waist measurement and body weight that was far too high, and Reflux and GERD. Following the nutritional food recommendations on Defeat Diabetes program I have not been hungry or felt deprived. I have lost 13kg and I now have a waist, I now have normal cholesterol and blood pressure and no Reflux or GERD, I no longer have Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. I cook real and fresh foods and know what is in my meals. I eat for my health and happiness.”

“I'm very pleased with my results on the Defeat Diabetes Program so far. I joined in May 2025 & in 4 months have reduced my HbA1c from 8.1% to 6.8% and Cholesterol from 8.1 to 6.8. My doctor was very surprised, but pleased with my results in the short time because he was ready to give me medication for my sugars & cholesterol if they hadn't come down by my next visit. I was not prepared to take the medication so I joined this program. Even though I haven't been completely strict with all my meals, the majority of the time I follow the program's guidelines. I still have a long way to go with my overall goals but the program makes meal prep so much easier with the delicious receipes to make & enjoy. I love the webinars & I'm learning so much from the information in the program. A great program to follow to see results.”

“I’m more than impressed with DD. You are making it possible to be successful switching to a low carb life style which I thought was impossible for me. I had the desire to bring my glucose under control but lacked the recipes and the motivation. I love the instruction, Nicole’s Nutrition class and the interviews you have on the website. I was intimidated by navigating it at first but you have made it pretty clear and easy. I’m still learning about savings recipes and adding to my shopping list but I am confident I will be able to master that too. I love how easy you have made it to print recipes. And the recipes are FANTASTIC. Delicious and fast to prepare with a minimum of ingredients. You have helped me so much already. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for all of us who struggle with diabetes and pre diabetes. Hugs to you all.”

“I’m in remission now and feel great. More energy physically and mentally, as a matter of fact I’ve become more interested in life and everything around me. My friends say that I’m a different person, more outgoing. The support and encouragement from the program has helped me overcome some bad habits that were sabotaging my progress. I have lost about 17kgs and I’m three sizes smaller than when I started. I’m very happy with everything about the program. Thank you all ,”
