Adopting our evidence-based approach, science tells us, is the key to putting type 2 diabetes into remission.
Before you get started, here's a few things you need to know.
How does it work?
The Defeat Diabetes Program is divided into 12 lessons that help you understand how and why you should adapt your diet if you have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

- A progress tracker to measure improvements to weight, waist, HbA1c and BMI

All our information and support is available to you from the moment you join - there's no waiting each week for a new lesson to open!
Our program is available on desktop PCs, laptops, and tablets via your web browser and mobile apps (Apple and Android).
Join a vibrant community

7 things to expect on the Defeat Diabetes Program
- Improved blood glucose levels: The Defeat Diabetes approach often improves blood sugar levels almost immediately by limiting foods that elevate blood glucose and replacing them with foods that leave us feeling fuller and more energetic.
- The possibility of remission: A recent independent clinical study showed 52% of participants who followed the Defeat Diabetes approach returned to non-diabetic range in just three months.
- Better sleep: Weight loss can help ease the symptoms of sleep apnoea, so you won't wake as easily in the night (good for you and your partner!).
- Weight loss: The Defeat Diabetes approach is proven to lead to weight loss. In a La Trobe study, 90% of participants lost weight in just three months, thanks to a combination of better appetite control and increased energy expenditure, even at rest.
- Reduced risk of arthritis: Adapting your diet to limit certain foods reduces inflammation in the body. Reduced inflammation leads to improvements in joint pain.
- Reduced diabetes medications: Lowering blood glucose levels can also reduce the need for diabetic medications. Keep in close contact with your doctor so that diabetes medications can be adjusted accordingly.
- Reduced reflux and heartburn: Research shows that dietary approaches like Defeat Diabetes can reduce the amount of acid in the esophagus, thereby reducing reflux symptoms.

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 it cost?
Defeat Diabetes is available on an annual subscription for AUD$129.
Our founder, Dr Peter Brukner, explains:
"We have spent over $3 million creating and sustaining 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."
Ask yourself, 'What is my health worth?' and consider giving Defeat Diabetes a try. You've got nothing to lose.
