7 things to expect on the Defeat Diabetes Program
- Improved blood glucose levels: Low carb diets tend to improve blood sugar levels almost immediately. This is because carbohydrates are literally made of glucose molecules, which enter the blood after digestion.
- The possibility of remission: A recent survey showed 52% of our members have achieved remission. That means blood glucose in normal range, and no type 2 diabetes related medications (such as metformin) for three months.
- Better sleep: Reduced weight loss can help ease symptoms of sleep apnoea, meaning you shouldn't be waking so easily in the night (good for you, and your partner!).
- Weight loss: Low carbohydrate diets are well known for weight loss. This is due to a combination of better appetite control, leading to reduced consumption, and increased energy expenditure, even at rest.
- Reduced risk of arthritis: When you reduce your carbohydrate intake, you reduce inflammation in the body. Reduced inflammation leads to improvements in joint pain.
- Reduced diabetes medications: By lowering blood glucose levels, low carbohydrate diets can also reduce the need for diabetic medications. Keep in close contact with your doctor so these medications can be adjusted accordingly.
- Reduced reflux and heartburn: Research shows that low carbohydrate diets can reduce the amount of acid in the food pipe, which causes symptoms of reflux.

What our members think of the Defeat Diabetes Program
"I have found this app great for information and motivation. I have enjoyed many of the recipes and love that new recipes are added regularly to keep motivation and inspiration high. I also love the 'members only' Facebook group and being able to share recipes and advice with the rest of the Defeat Diabetes community." - Rebecca
"Defeat Diabetes has changed my life and given me hope again." - Tina

What does is cost?
There are two membership tiers available on the Defeat Diabetes Program; both start with a free, no-risk trial. Cancel any time during the trial period and you won't be charged.
- Annual: 14 days free then billed annually at $129
- 3 months: 14 days free then billed quarterly at $59
Our founder Dr Peter Brukner explains: "We have spent over $2M creating this program. We have funded all of this out of our own pockets - no Government support, no industry support. Similar programs overseas cost twice as much (UK) or up to six times as much (USA), but we were desperate to keep the costs as low as possible.
"Two dollars a week is not much to pay when the likelihood is that you will gain hundreds of dollars of benefits such as reduced medications and doctors’ visits, not to mention the long term reductions in health costs and work absenteeism associated with type 2 diabetes.
