Colin B
HbA1c down from 7.8% to 5.9%
"My (previous) GP put me on diabetes medications and a statin. I felt I had no alternative, I'd lost control of my health. Defeat Diabetes gave me hope. Following the program, I never felt like I was on a diet; I now eat the foods I love."

Lynn J
HbA1c down from 8% to 5.3%
"Since starting with Defeat Diabetes I've lost 13 kg and reversed my type 2, but it's not just that - I'm so much happier! I'm no longer depressed. My fatty liver has improved, my osteoarthritis is better and at age 76, I even joined a gym!"

Bill G
HbA1c down from 8% to 6.2%
"Having struggled with type 2 diabetes for 20 years, to achieve remission is a huge accomplishment for me. The Program is easy to follow. Now, I want to work with my GP to reduce my medications and hope to come off them altogether."
