Do you know how much you should eat each day? How to cut down fat in your meals? How to make meals more interesting? A dietitian will work with you to create a healthy eating plan that includes your favourite foods. And everyone can benefit from a healthy diet, but if you have diabetes, eating right is a great way to help manage your blood glucose levels and avoid complications.

Leanne Levin can help you plan meals that are healthy and appetising if you wish to either manage or lose weight. If you are overweight, it is important that you eat a balanced diet that is designed to suit your lifestyle and your body.

Leanne can assist you with, diabetes education, high cholesterol, vegetarian diets, osteoporisis, lactose intolerance patients, coeliac disease, sports nutrition and advice on many other health related topics.

With the growing obesity rate in Australia, we now have more cases of diabetes as a result. Your eating habits could put you at risk of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. If you already have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are on insulin, you should eat meals of a similar serving size at about the same time each day. A snack may be needed in the mid-morning, mid-afternoon and at bedtime. However, these should be carefully monitored by a dietitician such as Leanne Levin who has training and expertise in how the body uses food. She understands diabetes, can teach you how the food you eat changes your blood glucose level, and how to coordinate your diabetes medications and eating.

Leanne Levin visits every second Tuesday. Leanne consults patients on all diet related topics.
