Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases, worldwide. In Australia, diabetes affects an estimated 940,000 people, and about half of these are not aware they have the disease. The good news is that diabetes can be managed well with a healthy lifestyle which includes a tailored eating plan, regular activity and medication (if required).

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, the team of Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) at Food & Nutrition Australia will work together with you to devise a personalised eating plan that will assist you to effectively manage the condition. A diabetes diagnosis, while serious, does not mean you have to miss out on all the joys and benefits of a range of foods! In fact some of our clients say that while they would prefer not to have diabetes, their diagnosis provided the motivation they needed to follow a healthy lifestyle and as a result they’ve noticed significant improvements in their overall health. 

If you’re seeking advice to effectively manage diabetes, our dietitians will provide you with all you need to know about the best type of diet for you, and how to manage your weight. They will also assist you with practical information and guidance on modifying recipes, product label reading, and the effect different foods have on your blood sugar levels.
