  • Gestational Diabetes
We offer practical and evidence-based nutrition advise on prevention and management of diabetes and its complications.

In our 1:1 Session, We

  • Conduct thorough assessment of an individual, including detailed nutrition and carbohydrate assessment (amounts, type, timing) in relation to their diabetes management plan/targets, medications or insulin, blood glucose patterns, and other factors affecting blood glucose levels (for example, physical activity).
  • Provide individualised medical nutrition therapy, including recommendations for modification of current intake, appropriate to age, type of diabetes, comorbidities/health concerns, risk of hypoglycaemia and management targets; integrating lipid, blood pressure, glycaemic and weight management goals with physical activity and healthy eating strategies.
  • Provide nutrition education to people with diabetes to improve their understanding of condition and role of nutrition.
  • Support to prevent/ manage complications of diabetes.
  • Utilise a variety of tools such as: food/blood glucose records, carbohydrate counting, glycaemic index, portion modelling, meal planning, label reading, cooking/recipe adjustments and behaviour modification.
  • Focus on behaviour change, self-management and motivational interviewing to facilitate long-term management.

New research has shown it is possible for some people with type 2 diabetes to reduce their
average glucose level to achieve an HbA1c of under 6.5% (48mmol/mol) and sustain them at
that level for a prolonged period of time (at least three months) – without the need for
glucose lowering medication. This is referred to as type 2 diabetes ‘remission’.
Remission has been achieved following a period of intensive dietary change or by bariatric
surgery. Remission is more likely within the first few years of diagnosis with type 2 diabetes
