Benefits of the Defeat Diabetes Program
(As reported by our members)
Better blood glucose levels
When you lower your blood glucose levels, you feel better and have more energy. 2 in 3 of our members returned to non-diabetic blood sugar levels, many reaching an HbA1c of less than 6.5% and coming off medication, achieving type 2 diabetes remission.
Weight loss
92% of surveyed members lost weight, 8 kg on average, with 1 in 4 losing more than 10 kg. Our approach to eating is backed by science, and as well as the scale benefits, you'll likely find yourself eating less and feeling more energised.
Better sleep
Better sleep is something almost half our members report once they start the program. A good night’s sleep decreases appetite, improves insulin sensitivity and lowers stress levels. Good news for you and anyone you might be keeping awake!
Better joints
Did you know when you reduce your carb intake, you reduce inflammation? This can lead to less joint pain, something we love hearing from members.
Less diabetes medications
Sick of the side effects of medication? Not to mention the ongoing cost? One-third of Defeat Diabetes members who were taking medication were able to stop or reduce it.
Better mental health and happiness
Our members often report less ‘brain fog’ and better mental clarity. 4 in 10 members experienced better mental health and more than half reported better overall happiness.
2 in 3 members
returned to non-diabetic blood sugar levels
In a recent survey our members reported a host of health benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Defeat Diabetes Program focuses on a low carb lifestyle, exercise and sleep as the key to preventing and reversing type 2 diabetes and a range of health conditions.
The program is grounded in the latest nutritional and metabolic science. Research shows when you remove carbohydrates, which are high in glucose, you reduce your blood glucose. This lowering of blood glucose brings pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes under control and into remission.
Delivered via website and the Defeat Diabetes mobile app (Apple iOS and Android), the program provides a practical and easy way to reduce your blood glucose levels. You’ll have access to 13 structured lessons featuring videos, masterclasses that provide a deeper dive into key topics, cooking demonstrations, affordable, simple and delicious recipes, resource sheets and a private Defeat Diabetes Facebook community to share support, advice and inspiration.
