The Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program is Australia's first evidence-based, doctor-led program that can help put pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes into remission.
Created by Dr Peter Brukner OAM with a team of doctors and dietitians (including Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Mason and Defeat Diabetes dietitian Nicole Moore), the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program can help you manage your blood glucose levels, lose weight and achieve remission.
BIG NEWS! We’re stoked to announce a new partnership with Diabetes Australia to offer hope to people living with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Together, we aim to reach the 1.3 million Australians diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a message of hope for remission through our proven low carb program.

It is so nice to hear that my sugar addiction is actually being CAUSEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD by something and not just ME because growing up (40 yrs ago) I didn't have a sugar addiction and I was perfectly thin 5'7 120. The last 20 years my weight has slowly creeped up, now at 56 I'm considered obese 5'7 222 and just got t2d 6 months ago and it is coming on like gangbusters and tanking my body, I'm strugging daily with severe dehydration, absolutely no thirst, ZERO ENERGY AND I MEAN ZERO, pins and needle feet, aching joints, racing heart after eating and this all came on what feels like overnight. I'd like Dr. Shanahan to discuss another concept I heard which is the fats are what cause insulin resistance and that when you add carbs they tip you over into diabetes. Thank you.
I keep it simple,"If a baker made it i dont eat it"...2 meals a day 08.00 & 13.00,no snacking.. Fruit sometimes @ 13.00 ... In 6 months i lost 30 pounds, went from diabetic, to healthy normal, betwix bloods... All food from base ingrediants with very low carbs, olive oil & butter as fats... I work manualy...
Also, my dad only made it to 1972, died at 48 years….our family went ‘hard ‘ on getting rid of tasty butter, whole milk and bacon ,,,,he survived WWII and Korean War, but big pharma got him, I’d like to sue somebody for shortening his life ! I’m angry that my country 🇨🇦 is continuing to lie to us - how do they expect respect and trust when doctors don’t even allow any ‘double blind’ research into patient options for treatment…
dairy comes as a RAW dairy full of beneficial bacteria and also comes in the pasteurized and homogenized pack where it can live on the shelf for 3 months... they are completely different...let's draw some lines in between before saying that dairy is pro inflammatory. there are people who are alergenic on pasteurized milks from the packs and do well on a RAW milk
My mother followed the advice from her doctor and diabetic dietitian 16 years ago. She started on the “recommended diabetes diet.” Over that time she progressed from diet to different medications and progressed to daily injections of different types of insulin. 😢
At Defeat Diabetes we recommend following a program that's low in carbs (10% total calories) and higher in protein (30% total calories) and healthy fats like butter and ghee (60% of total calories). That's because evidence shows that limiting our carbohydrate intake improves insulin resistance and blood glucose, and reduces inflammation.

Hi Evan, at Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program we recommend limiting carbs to 50g a day to help manage your blood glucose and eliminate medication. Whether they be simple or complex carbs, all carbs are metabolised into sugar in your bloodstream eventually. That's why we don't recommend following low GI if you're trying to improve your blood glucose levels. More on this here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/the-essential-guide-to-low-carb-vs-low-gi/
@@defeatdiabetes Thanks. I tend to low carb due to Roy Taylor - I found his book after I was diagnosed with type-2 four years ago (I ignored the idea of meal replacement shakes, seems like a dopey idea). So I started doing a walk each day, eliminating junk food and the four whites mostly, and this has mostly worked. Blood sugar back close to normal for the last three years or so. I put on a little weight and am having trouble losing it - it seems (current theory) to be due to too much cheese (I seem to start losing a little when I eat less cheese, not less fruit - apples and mandarins). I do eat nuts, almonds and cashews, which may not help.
why not promote animal fats? most olive oil is not only olive oil. you have to make sure it isn't adulterated w/ other cheap seed oils. ghee, butter, tallow, lard...they are my fats.
Hi - we love animal fats at Defeat Diabetes! We recommend avoiding seed oils and sticking to butter, ghee, lard and olive oils. You can read more on our stance on fats here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/science/show-me-the-evidence-saturated-fat/
I buy the discounted short-dated meat and freeze it or slow cook the cheaper cuts. Fatty mince is cheaper because everyone else thinks it's unhealthy.😉 Frozen mixed berries are much cheaper than the fresh ones. Many supermarkets also sell the 'ugly' fruit and veg such as avocados, carrots and lemons in small bags. Watch for nuts like macadamias to go on special and buy a couple of packets. Companies like 'Nuts About Life' sell almond flour in bulk. Look in the discounted dairy section for cheaper cheese and Greek yoghurt. These are just a few ways. I view buying healthy food as an investment in my health - much better than the cost of medications or hospital visits later on!

All very interesting. I’ve random stories rumbling about my brain. One day the mass extinction will happen bcz there won’t be enough drugs or healthy people to make them. The carnivores will be the only ones left. Zombie-Cannibalism will have run rampant throughout the general population but most will die due to the poor quality meat that humans will have become. This will be especially true of trying to eat vegans and vegetarians. Lack of quality fats will cause rabbit starvation from eating them.
Wenn Ur tryglicerides are too high then u Eutingen too mich carbs Ur body Canterbury handle.... we turn eventuell exess gram of carbo will turnen in fat.

Dr Unwin I was diagnosed type 2. 2021 All I have learnt is what I was taught in the 1960s for type1, low carb, we didn't have type 2, it was a rare old age problem, and everything else is off the internet. I asked the diabetic nurse for a glucose monitor, she said the doctors don't believe in giving glucose monitors for type 2. Later I saw one of the doctors for a steroid💉 , after, I asked for a glucose monitor machine, saying NICE says we are to have them plus sticks and lancets. I was greeted with. 'WE DOCTORS DO NOT AGREE WITH NICE. WE DO NOT BELIEVE TYPE 2 SHOULD HAVE MONITORING'. Capitals were his attitude. I have NEVER been seen by a doctor regarding my Type 2. I can't talk about about my health to anyone. The Sick (Health) Authority where I live will not pay for me to join your internet programme. The people where I live in the Midlands have a very raw deal from our Sick (Health) Authority and our GPs As a pensioner it is bad I have to buy my own equipment and it's gonna get worse with Starmmer after us.
We're sorry to hear you're not able to access a subsidised CGM. In Australia our peak body Diabetes Australia has just called to government to offer them to people with type 2 diabetes... we'll see what response we get!

@@defeatdiabetes I shall leave it to you to select an opponent to Dr Unwin. He should be very aware of those in the UK who take a different position to him. Would need a neutral chair to manage the debate.
Are we not missing the FACT that, being UNDER MUSCLED plays a HUGE factor on how our bodies utilize glucose? Muscle is a great soaker-upper of glucose - build it and then preserve it with maintenance. Even at rest - the muscle is actively soaking up glucose.

This is what you are up against, i'm in Australia and have not heard one peep about it being Diabetes Week. For the major health issue that it now is it should be all over the media networks. But anything to do with Diabetes Australia does not surprize me.
We're seeing quite a bit pop up in our feeds on Diabetes Week and Diabetes Australia's important initiative championing CGMs for people with type 2 diabetes. We'd love to see the government pick this up as we see first hand among our members the impact of a CGM helping people transition to a low carb approach. Fingers crossed Mark Butler's team are listening!
@@defeatdiabetes The team my very well be listening, but falling on deaf ears. Yesterday i asked everyone i spoke with if they knew it was National Diabetes Week, result zip. Not one person had seen any sort of media coverage, not one. The people you are seeing pop up on your feeds are the health aware and those that already care about their health and future, the already converted. Have a good weekend. 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve been diet controlled T2 for 12 years. For the past 2 years my blood glucose has been slowly increasing. My doctor has been threatening me with metformin 😔. For the last month I’ve been VERY LOW CARB … it has made so much difference … was 7.0-8.0, now 5.0-60 (in Australia).
@@annettebaxter9634 Well done. Just stick to the VERY LOW CARB , you'll be surprized how much more your blood glucose will improve, it just takes time. But good on you. 👍👍👍
on a keto/carnivore diet how do we prevent ketoacidosis. for a long time i was on a calorie counting diet, couldnt lose weight, difficult not to put weight on.
pity we did not have something like weight watchers/slimming world but specifically for prediabetes, and be aware enough when the 'customer' might need actual medical advice.
borderline pre diabetes ( i am getting symtoms, ) however, i am on bp meds, (bp ok now) taking jardiance dosage reduced from 25 to 10 (slight acidosis vomiting and very sleepy) seem ok now have lost almost two stones in 3 months. how many carbs do i need to take for safety. happy to go low carb but think i will have a bad effect while taking jardiance. i have porridge, probiotic and blueberries for breakfast, i think i need many more carbs during the day for safety with taking jardiance. i would appreciate any advice.
Medications for type 2 diabetes often need adjustment when carbohydrate intake is reduced to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemic episodes (insulin, sulfonylureas), or more rarely, ketoacidosis (SGLT2 inhibitors). Specific considerations are shown in our doctor's letter when you join the program. Please email us at support@defeatdiabetes.com.au and we'll be happy to send you a copy of this letter to discuss with your doctor to help you make the decision on whether our approach is suitable for you.
We agree! He has a brilliant way of putting things into plain and simple English. We try and do the same on the Defeat Diabetes blog - you can have a read of all our information here if you're interested in learning more about low carb and type 2 diabetes --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/
@@defeatdiabetes Thanks anyway but I've already successfully remitted my diabetes and I'm down to my ideal weight. Dr Unwin and Dr Hallberg were 2 of the first videos I found, thankfully. I'm in Australia and really pleased that things are starting to change here. It can be so simple to do, but support can be helpful to encourage people to be committed. Keep up the good work of helping people to become healthier!
This is incorrect. Most Asian people that I know are atrictly vegetarian. All survived well upto 90 years without major healrh problems. Just imagine every kn the world starts eating meat. We will need 2 planets to grow cattle. Just avoid junk and processed food.
Thanks for your feedback. Dr Ede's advice is based on decades of study and the latest gold-standard evidence; but we understand that some people may prefer to follow a vegetarian or vegan approach to diet. The important thing is to try to limit carbohydrate intake and increase protein, which isn't always easy on plant-based diet - but it can be done!
I have had my gall bladder out, but didn't strictly restricted food. Admittedly it was in the days of high carb diet but never went the whole way with high carbs. Still ate meat, eggs and cheese and of course ice cream and chocolate. Then in 2021 the dreaded type 2 struck. Went straight onto Low Carb remembering my nurse training from the 60s. In 2023 went onto Ketovore/carnivore not eating carbs every day. The way to avoid the the squirts is to go onto a ketovore/carnivore slowly. Even with no gall bladder your body can get used to eating high animal fat diet, with no squirts.
Thanks for sharing your experience and recommendations on adopting low carb... we hope you're living life to the full, even minus the gall bladder (and squirts!).
Keto and low carb has been around way longer than Ozempic, with a mountain of evidence supporting it's use in weight loss, better glycaemic management and remission of type 2 diabetes, but somehow hasn't had half the publicity. Wonder why?!
Sounds like you're speaking from experience! As you highlight, there's a lack of diverse, double-blind randomized control studies that accurately measure the effect of low carb and keto diets on cognitive function. We'd love to see the results of this research, but in the meantime the evidence supporting low carb and Alzheimer's continues to grow --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/science/show-me-the-evidence-low-carb-and-alzheimers/
@@defeatdiabetes Doctors are warning kids on keto diet. My son improved grades when I limited his carbs to one cup during lunch everyday. No carbs on breakfast and dinner. Hope there will be a research to help improve every students
@@defeatdiabetes Can reduce blood glucose spike pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38378.. Maybe can be synergistic with low carb, walk after eating. Prolonged fasting and near infrared
