About this app

Take control of your blood glucose with practical, doctor-led guidance you can use every day.

Defeat Diabetes is an evidence-based program created by Dr Peter Brukner OAM alongside a team of doctors, dietitians and health professionals. It helps people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes understand how food affects blood glucose and make sustainable changes without complicated rules or the traditional diet mindset.

Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or have been managing type 2 diabetes for years, Defeat Diabetes gives you a clear, step-by-step approach to improving your health.

HOW DEFEAT DIABETES CAN HELP

✓ Increase energy and improve overall wellbeing
✓ Understand the science behind food and blood glucose
✓ Build realistic habits you can maintain
✓ Work with your healthcare team to review medications where appropriate

CLINICALLY PROVEN RESULTS

Independent clinical research by La Trobe University found that after three months:

• 85% of participants improved their blood glucose control
• 52% reached the non-diabetic blood glucose range
• Participants experienced improvements in weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and liver health
• One in three participants was able to reduce or stop diabetes medications under medical supervision

Improvements were sustained at 12 months, showing the program can support meaningful, lasting change.

REAL FOOD. PRACTICAL GUIDANCE. NO DIET MINDSET.
You don’t need to count every calorie, follow a rigid meal plan or eat separate food from the rest of your family. Defeat Diabetes helps you understand which foods support steadier blood glucose, then gives you the recipes, tools and guidance to put that knowledge into practice.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

“Defeat Diabetes has been life-changing. It's not magic, but it works. The way the program explains blood glucose is brilliant. Anyone can understand it.”
— Sladjana, VIC, lost 9 kg, HbA1c now in the non-diabetes range

“I’ve followed this program for 3 years. It's not a diet, it's the way I now live. I've learnt so much. ”
— Karen, NSW, lost 30 kg, HbA1c now in the non-diabetes range

— Mark, QLD, HbA1c now in the non-diabetes range

"Before the program I was told to get used to increasing amounts of medication. I absorbed all the information in the program, but what I love most is the community. You can ask any question and won't feel stupid."

I was very disappointed to find i had access to ONLY 49 recipes AND one of them was a boiled egg (seriously). Unfortunately I paid my $99 annual subscription before this was evident. I also perceived i would be able to track my progress etc sugar, carbs, weight, excercise etc with this app, but it doesn't appear to have the ability to do so. I love the idea of this app, it's Australian, it's educational and the program is backed by science, but it just needs more, a lot more.

Hi Kerry, thanks for the feedback. We're glad you're finding the education element of the program valuable. We now have hundreds of recipes available with more added every week. We've also added a Progress Tracker feature where you can enter your weight, height, HbA1c, waist, and BMI.

I enjoy the weekly meal plans, and the option of adding to the shopping list makes life easier. The progress charts to track your weight loss, measurements, and BGL are a great way to keep track. The lessons have been compiled to include all the relevant questions and answers to living a low-carb lifestyle, easy to access all in one app. Thanks, DD team, for the improvements.

Was disappointed that for a paid app, recipe servings can't be relied upon. For example: The boiled egg recipe ingredients state 1 egg but the serving size was for 4 people. If one as simple as this is incorrect, it is hard to have confidence in the other recipe serving sizes being correct.
