Got my energy back

I’ve been found the Defeat diabetes food plan for 3-4 weeks now . The recipes are just so tasty and energising . My brain is clearer too .
I’m so glad I started it . My sweet tooth has pretty much disappeared . I haven’t lapsed too much but there is lots of information via lessons and masterclasses yo keep you motivated !
I don’t miss the carbs . My stomach is flatter so I’m keen to continue and get more results .

Life Changer

I was on Trulicity to control my blood sugar and I counted calories to lose weight. When the Trulicity went into short supply I was unable to obtain any. Up went my blood sugar, my appetite and my weight. Because I was reluctant to take medication my doctor suggested I try a low carb diet.
I found Defeat Diabetes and haven’t looked back. The recipes are delicious and easy to make, the regular videos are informative and the members of the Facebook group are friendly and helpful.
The app is very user friendly and I love that it’s available in a web based version. Defeat Diabetes is also very reasonably priced and great value for money.
I’m now medication free, my blood sugar is coming down, I’m losing weight and thanks to the awesome recipes I don’t even notice that I’m eating low carb. Hubby loves our new way of eating too.

Take the plunge

I thought I would take a punt on this app and for my health. Early days yet, 8 days in and I am feeling really good about it. The recipes are easy to follow, and they are very filling, I haven’t found myself feeling hungry. I am in it for the long haul. The information you receive is quality, and very easy to understand. Even after a week, I already can feel a change, I haven’t felt this alert for a long time. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to try some more recipes

Excellent and very helpful resource

This app has good info and a great variety of delicious meals. After eating low carb for 2 1/2 weeks, I’ve already been taken off one of my diabetes medications. This has been very encouraging and given me motivation to keep going with low carb. When eating carbs I was hungry every hour or two and now I don’t feel hungry for hours. The weight is coming off without having to starve or feeling deprived! I now have consistent energy throughout the day and my mood is no longer low! Thank you for this great app - it’s a Godsend and is helping keep me on track 😀

Multiple benifits

Since going low carb my HbA1c has definitely dropped. Defeat Diabetes has been a huge benefit. I can continue to eat what I love to eat and just watch my carbs. I’ve lost weight, I’m less tired. I feel better within myself, the self-confidence is massive, I even just feel ‘happier’. I have sleep apnea, and I’m finding I’m sleeping a lot better. And my partner loves the Defeat Diabetes food because she really enjoys cooking. We both benefit.

Given me hope

My doctors wanted me to go on more medication as my BSL was too high despite loosing weight on my ‘diet’. I was told my condition was getting worse and I just need to accept this. I was fortunate to meet with a diabetic educator who introduced me to Defeat Diabetes (DD) web page and my life was transformed. My HBA1c has now reduced from 8.4 to 5.7 and I now feel in control of my life. Nicole Moore, DD Dietition has guided this transformation which has been supported by the excellent videos and information on the DD web page. I can not speak highly enough of the positive impact DD and the team have made on my life and I would and do recommend it to others.
You have given me hope again and a path to better health. Thank you Defeat Diabetes Team.

Over priced and a bit pointless

When paying $100 for an app I want it to do some of the work for me! The weekly meal plans are great, and it is good that you can swap meals out, but there is no shopping list created from that. You can create a shopping list by clicking each recipe but it is not accumulative, meaning you end up with a 50g of cheddar listed 4 times etc if it’s in four recipes ... picky I know but other apps at this price point can manage it.
There could be a few more dinner recipes, which will hopefully come in time.
Overall this is an overpriced cookbook that could have been printed with sample menus and sold at big w for $30!

Brilliant program

Love the food and the recipes are delicious. The lessons modules provide life changing knowledge. It is wonderful being off Metformin and blood sugars now staying stable. HbA1c 5.7 After an initial big drop I stalled for three weeks hitting a plateau. There was no chance I was quitting the health benefits alone are worth it, so nice to finally be free of joint pain, to have a clear head and not be hungry all the time. Having the support and knowledge to take control of my own health has helped me get better health care which has resulted in a kick start to my weigh loss again. 8 weeks in with a 3 week stall and 7kgs down can’t argue with that.

Defeat Diabetes

Thé Defeat Diabetes app is fit for purpose, it does what it is designed to do.
When using the app you are sharing with and learning from others who have had similar experiences
The app is also more or less interactive insomuch as you can ask a question and have it answered by an expert.
You also feel that someone is working away in the background to make things better for you ie new recipes, tips on new products etc
What’s not to like
