It’s Everything I Need

I use the recipes every week. The masterclass and lessons are always informative and of value. I make all of my desserts biscuits slices and pudding and most mains from Defeat Diabetes website.

The most comprehensive app ever

This app is a lifeline for many people with type 2 diabetes.
Every one should try and show their GP .
There is such good information, all health professionals who help manage people with diabetes should go through the program.

Why didn’t this happen years ago?

This app and the program provided great support in my changes to reduce my Blood Glucose and weight permanently. It was worth much more than I paid to be in the program. The lessons, webinars and meal plans are great.

Tasty recipes!

Defeat Diabetes was recommended by my GP and I’m using it to support my partner in his efforts to reduce or cease medication and hopefully reverse his type 2 diabetes. The recipes are excellent, that’s the main section of the app that I’ve been using and most of the dishes I’ve cooked have been delicious. It would be great if there was a function to add notes once I’ve made a dish (eg add more liquid, seasoning etc) that I could reference next time I cook it.

Follow the evidence!

Having grown up with the Food Pyramid, I found it hard to switch my thinking around the balance of different food classes, especially fats! Defeat Diabetes have been very responsive with links to detailed scientific analyses and the latest evidence around the best diet for Diabetes. There is loads of information also within the app, plus great recipes, menu plans and swaps

Life changing app

On finding out I was pre-diabetic, I asked my doctor what I should eat and she referred me to this app. It is the best $129 I have spent. I love all the education I am receiving via the webinars, lessons and articles. I have also bought books of authors Dr Bruckner has interviewed with some still to buy. This education is like doing a mini university course. Knowing why I’m making the lifestyle changes I am is very important and helps me to follow the program.

I also love trying out new recipes from the DD app. It’s creative and satisfying and the food is nourishing and tasty.

I am very glad I discovered the impact food has on my health (specifically pre diabetes) and its ability to help heal me. I have lost weight and generally feel better. It’s been life changing.

Getting on top of prediabetes

My endocrinologist referred me to this app. I had gestational diabetes and ended up prediabetic post pregnancy.

Defeat diabetes has educated me, given me great resources, meal plans and recipes. I rely on the recipes quite heavily.

From this I have been able to reach a healthy bmi and maintain it.

For me taste is highly important when cooking, and I struggled to stay to bland, basic meal plans.

Defeat diabetes recipes are tasty and help me stay with in my calorie goals keeping me at my desired weight and I know I’m looking after my health for the future.

A lifestyle changer

I joined the Defeat Diabetes program on my GPs recommendation and this app is the tool needed to access the program. Whilst not type 2 diabetic, I am obese and my GP would like my baseline Insulin levels to be lowered. I have become inspired by the lessons on this app into changing what I eat i.e. low carbs/sugar. Now understanding how our metabolism works has been the gamechanger for me and the lessons, masterclasses and other info presented by the Drs and Dietition has allowed me to understand what I should and shouldn’t eat, rather than simply being told to follow a diet. There is a mountain of info in this app. I do feel that adding the Program Progress Bar (as in the web version) would be a handy inclusion to indicate which articles I have previously read in the program. Would highly recommend the program and this app.

Hi Mal, thank you for this review. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad the Defeat Diabetes Program has inspired your lifestyle change! Your journey toward better health is commendable, and we're thrilled to hear how the information resonates with you. As for the progress bar for the mobile app, a small circle chart (green and white) does show indicating your progress for each Lesson modules. However, a feature that indicates which articles you've read already sounds like a good idea. We'll forward your suggestions to the team for review and consideration. Once again, thank you for recommending us! - DD Team

Excellent information given to the understanding of T2 diabetes and how to manage it for better health outcomes and or put it into remission. All lessons are portrayed in a way to enforce the understanding of this condition for better health.
I have been using the low carb eating for a month now and starting to feel much better metabolically and results are now starting to show in weight loss. Hoping my HBaC1 has dropped in the next blood test.
My husband has even got on board with this eating plan. His inflammation in the joints has also decreased.
This lifestyle is a keeper to enjoy life to the fullest.
Thank you Deaf Diabetes

Great programme

This is a great programme. It is very well constructed and presented. The modules are comprehensive and the meal plans are easy to follow with easy to prepare and delicious recipes. Well done to all the people who put this programme together. I would recommend this to anyone, not only people with type 2 diabetes, who want to live a healthy and vibrant life

Yeah! Now medication free!

I was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic 20 years ago. Three years ago I discovered and proved that low carb reduces blood glucose levels. After returning blood test in normal range for a year, I started begging my Dr to reduce, then drop medication. All went very well and blood sugar levels were great. Then winter got to me and over several months of rolled oats for breakfast and increasing indulgences in cakes, biscuits and chocolate, my blood glucose levels were creeping back into diabetic range. Three weeks after joining DD to get back on track with sensible eating, my fasting blood sugar is back under 6.5. The great information and recipes that come with the program have inspired me and keep me motivated to eat more healthily and keep Diabetes at bay.

Flipped on it’s head

I have recently started the Defeat Diabetes program Since my heart attack and kidney failure in 2021 the inflammation I received was to: Eat plenty of carbs and cut down on fat especially saturated fat
Looks like I should have been doing the opposite Thank goodness for Defeat Diabetes

This app is a winner

I was diagnosed about 14 years ago with type 2 diabetes. I had managed to to keep things relatively under control with intermittent fasting and exercise. This was hard work and I was loosing muscle mass in the process. Unsurprisingly I was hungry a lot of the time. About 2 years ago my HbA1c went up to 7.3 and I was prescribed Metformin.
Since starting the Defeat Diabetes program my weight is increasing - however my waist circumference is decreasing! (I was not overweight to begin with ) I am gaining muscle mass. I am no longer hungry, and have more energy. I have embraced the idea that saturated fats are not ‘bad’. The Defeat Diabetes approach from my experience is better at controlling BGL than intermittent fasting, and I am no longer hungry! Win win I say!
My fasting Blood Glucose levels are now hovering around 5-6 and I feel like a new man. I have had a chat with my GP and have got a HbA1c test in a couple of months. If things keep going as they have been, there is every chance my Diabetes will be in remission! If you are overweight, have pre-diabetes or diabetes I recommend you give this app a go.

Review.

I’m really enjoying the recipes and happily achieving lower BG readings. I have a bit more energy than before but not yet sleeping as well as I’d like. Nor have I lost any weight after 4 weeks. However I believe this will happen. I am very glad to have found the Defeat Diabetes program. Than you.

A lot of knowledge

I have learnt such a wealth of knowledge from Defeat Diabetes - about diabetes, statins, a low carb diet and its advantages just to name a few. I like that it is presented by doctors and other health professionals too, which adds to the excellent approach. Well done!
