Diabetes Wellness Australia Reviews

———–

There’s so much support through weekly phone catch ups, websites with information, Facebook page and support groups, etc. My diet has definitely improved for the better. The program goes for 6 months which I believe is a good functional length of time to cement changes in behaviour. Definitely recommend.

———–

I found this program was great and my coach was wonderful.  She gave me great information to help me with ideas and was easy to speak to every week.  I loved that you speak every week to keep you on track.

———–

I had excellent experience.  The first week was hard for me but later I learned to understand that I must listen to my coach. I followed my coach’s advice – it was very hard in the beginning because getting rid of bad habits takes time. I felt I was not alone and got the help and advice when I needed it.

———–

My experience was really positive.  The best thing I learned was to change my bad habits. I completely changed my diet, and started drinking lots of water, I got a FitBit and started counting my steps each day and monitoring my sleep patterns. The weight seemed to drop slowly, but it kept dropping, and I just get the feeling that I wont put it back on and I feel real confident that I wont go back to my old bad habits because I plan to keep my sugar levels under control, so the weight will keep dropping till I reach my ideal weight and that’s my new goal, to get below 80kg and to stay there.

———–

I have tried diets before, fad fixes, consulted dietitians and exercise physiologists. But this is the only program that is achieving real results for me. And results that I feel will be long-lasting. And I believe it is because it is a holistic approach that looks at your individual lifestyle, not just pulling one or two parts out of that to focus on. The program is teaching me lasting skills to manage my weight and health and add years to my life.

———–

When I read all about the program, I knew I wanted to join. Right from the very first telephone appointment I felt like a part of the family and that made me feel that I was on the right track. What I really like and the most important thing is the communication has been 100% which makes it a lot easier to understand the process and today I received a lovely little gift from the team. I can’t wait to really get stuck into the program.

I recently completed my Miyagi programme and have had some life changing experiences. The initial blood tests showed up a distinct lack of Vitamin D, Iron and B12 in my bloods which led my doctor to do further investigation, upon which it was discovered I had Crohn’s disease. I already had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 20 years previously which is what had lead me to this programme. My dietitian was amazing in supporting me through the whole process. I have now completely changed the way I view food, eat food and prepare food. I have dropped 13kg, am off of my Lantus insulin and one of my oral medications for my diabetes as well. I am feeling so much better and really appreciated her gentle guidance and ability to help me make the necessary changes I needed to make. She also encouraged me to take back my own power and stand up for what I felt was right for me. I can’t thank her enough. The programme was well worth doing from my perspective.

———–

The experience with Miyagi has been excellent in helping me achieve my goals. Having a weekly coach session with my dietitian has been the big point of difference where I have worked through changing my mindset creating changes to building a sustainable healthier and positive lifestyle. Thankyou!

———–

I am very happy with this program. Though I was a bit slow to understand the concept, I finally figured it out. The results were satisfying and I would recommend this program to my friends in need. Thanks to my dietitian for all her help.

———–

I have been following the 26 week wellness challenge and the encouragement, tip and guidance I have received from my Coach has been outstanding!! I highly recommend this program to anyone, who just needs that encouragement and push to get you moving in the right direction!

———–

A very comprehensive program that has really helped me on my journey to improve my nutrition and exercise regime. The coaching has been extremely beneficial to me to maintain my course. And the resources are exceptional.

———–

I found the one-on-one coaching especially valuable. Particularly because the dietitians I had were really encouraging and empowering. I’ve learned about eating healthy foods, portion control, and consistent movement.

———–

After losing my initial coach, my dietitian guide me through the remainder of my time. She was always prompt in answering any questions I sent to her & provided me with wonderful advice & resources. She was extraordinarily patient with me & the issues that I was dealing with. The Miyagi program offers terrific resources to help you make the changes to your lifestyle. One tiny change can make such a difference. I am confident I can continue to make those changes on my own.

———–

A great program with great coaching staff. Regular check-ins, information sharing and increased knowledge builds your toolkit to keep succeeding beyond the program. Highly recommend.

———–

Today was my last call with my dietitian. I just want to say thank you to her and Miyagi for fine tuning my eating habits. It has set me on a journey of healthy eating with occasional treats. It’s ok to eat some carbs…it’s ok.to have treats but just occasionally. It has been a program of confirming fresh is best. I also started push up challenge last week and hope to keep that up even after June. Aim is to stay healthy and happy. I am 64 and kicking it!!

———–

I have found the experience with Miyagi very positive, supportive and productive. I have been guided and transformed into who I once was, a passionate and positive person. I can see where I am heading and smashing my goals. My last goal is to run a half marathon in my home town this November. I have been given all the tools to read and use and can’t think of how I could do my new lifestyle without the guidance of Miyagi.

———–

My Miyagi coach is an absolute legend. She kept me focused on the positive achievements when I was feeling hopeless, opened my eyes to some really useful changes I could easily make with my exercise, meals, and routines and kept me thinking about overall health. I’m so thankful to my dietitian and the program, and I highly recommend it.

———–

I am delighted with the program. Weekly calls with my dietician help keep me accountable and great eating tips that are making a huge difference. Ability to take photo and load every meal for food journal as well as recording changes in metrics is very useful. This is a slow burn program for people who want to make sustained change and nothing else works.

———–

Love love love my dietitian.
My dietitian has to put up with me, and yet she remains so patient, kind and so free in offering such sound knowledge on any information I require on eating healthy and ensuring that I continue to add more movement into my lifestyle.
If you need accountability in your life and that motivational drive, I would give this 100 stars.
Just remember, a journey begins with a single step, and you need to believe in yourself, you can do it.

———–

My dietitian has been amazing, she has listened to me made suggestions and help me along the way, I needed feedback to know I’m on the right track, my mindset on healthy eating has improved, and still knowing I can enjoy some foods every now and then and thinking I’ve blown it and give up.

———–

I’m currently halfway through my journey and have reached all my goals so far, my dietitian had been a tremendous help and I am looking forward for the remaining half of the course.

———–

I have a great dietitian who supports me and gives me great info on what to do to help me make the life changes required and to stick to them. The app is easy to follow and update, with new modules added regularly.

———–

I’m fairly new to the program, but I love that I have someone each week to talk to and help me with different foods to eat. My dietitian is lovely and gives me heaps of ideas and also helps me when health problems arise, she works with me to keep me on track.

———–

I joined the Miyagi program in October after reading about it on social media. I am glad I did as the program has helped me learn more about my health and the steps I can take to improve. The healthie app is easy to navigate and the information provided is very easy to understand and super informative. My dietitian is very helpful, honest and encouraging. We do weekly regular phone consults which have helped me be accountable for achieving my weekly goals.

———–

This is a brilliant program – there are no easy answers and yes, you have to be responsible for yourself but at the end of it all, you will have a far better relationship with food and your not so good food habits will either be gone or will be under control.

———–

My experience with Miyagi is relatively new,  just a couple of months, but I have really appreciated the regular accountability and also the perceptiveness that my dietitian has provided. He has tuned into my goals and carefully read the person that I am and where I want to be in the future.

———–

I’m so happy with my experience so far, learning so much that will help me in the future with my health and well-being.
The plan is so well put together, my dietician is so helpful, and our discussions have been very informative and motivating. There is so much information available, guidelines, information sheets, hints and tips, for life moving forward.

———–

I joined Miyagi in September 2022, At first I was a bit skeptical even during my onboarding session with my dietician, however once into the program the cards began to line up and I was more at ease, my dietitian is great he listens to what I have to say and offers solutions or ideas to change, and always available via text etc. The recipes are great and easy to follow, the phone app works well as does the web page.

———–

My dietitian was a wonderful coach. Always very praising and never made me feel terrible about eating a bad thing . Most other programs I have completed always hone in on “oh you shouldn’t have done that”. It’s ok to have a bad food choice here and there just make sure the next thing you choose is a good mindful choice. My dietitian always was helpful and contactable, great resources available so use them. The coach can only do so much. You are responsible for carrying out the advice. If you are going to do it, have the commitment and mindset.

———–

I’ve spent my whole life struggling with my weight and food, but here I have learnt a better relationship with food, I now have all the tools to change my lifestyle for a better healthier me. I understand food better and appreciate the connection exercise has to a better me.

———–

This is a holistic, realistic and very do-able program for a healthy lifestyle, focusing on health, nutrition, physical health – all of which has helped my mental health. I have embraced this program and my new routine and habits have quickly become my new normal.

———–

My dietician has been very supportive and I know I can contact her between calls if I need something. She has encouraged me even though I have not been able to exercise each week and has given me tips to substitute foods. I understand that to get anything out of my experience I have to put something in myself and make big changes in what I eat and drink to avoid having to take medications in the future and to be healthy for longer.

———–

Small steps….that was all I needed to do and of course rewire my brain to create new habits. The journey has only just begun as this is a life time journey im feeling alot better on the inside and have lost a few kgs as well

———–

I was skeptical, why would this be any different to other programs. I know what I should be doing I simply wasn’t doing it…
The regular contact with my dietitian has been the key, it’s kept me accountable, it’s allowed me to talk openly and honestly without judgement and through this have come leaps and bounds. My mindset is clear and focused, I don’t let my hiccups interfere, I keep moving forward, keep my main goal at the forefront. It’s definitely a personal journey and am grateful I chose to embark on it.

———–

This programme was a big financial outlay for me and I began feeling a little impatient with myself and wanted quick results. But as the weeks have gone on I have found myself encouraged by the weekly calls and the gentle and supportive nudging by my dietician. I have found her advice practical and useful and she has listened to what is important to me. She has made me feel accountable about the goals I have set without being judgemental when I have not reached them that week. My own mindset and the way I have looked at meal prepping and what situations trigger me to eat has changed in that I am not as focused on losing weight but rather on how to make healthier daily choices on the food I prepare and the exercise I choose. Although I have only managed to lose a few kilos so far I am feeling stronger and more energetic than I have in a while as I’ve taken control of my health journey. I’m mindful of what I put into my mouth and think about the consequences of my behaviours more than I ever have. I find the app modules useful and the strategies and suggestions given by my dietitian particularly helpful. So far so good

———–

My experience has been enjoyable thanks to my dietitian’s friendly, informative, helpful, and educational guidance and support. She has been clear and concise on the information and advice she has provided, making it easy to understand and follow. She has been great in the way she has answered any questions I’ve had. She has been encouraging in my weight loss journey, which has been much appreciated. My dietitian shows genuine interest in how I am and the progress I’m making. I’m very grateful for the advice, guidance and support I’ve received from her. It has definitely made my weight loss journey easier and more enjoyable.

———–

Great program that is easy to follow. Only required to make small changes to diet and exercise which are all supported by a Nutritionist. The resources are excellent as are the recipes which are easy to make. Has helped me lose over 10kg, thoroughly recommend

I am 76 in June and every diet I’ve tried – I failed. I’ve had type 2 diabetes since 1986, my BG has never been under control. I felt like a failure. My health was spiralling out of control and multiple health issues are now a
