Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Whether it's type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is key to preventing complications and staying well.

So, where does nutrition come in?
Eating well helps:
Keep blood glucose levels stable
Support a healthy weight
Improve energy and mood
Reduce the risk of heart disease and other complications

Key nutrition strategies include:
Choosing low-GI carbohydrates like wholegrains, legumes, and vegetables and evenly distributing them throughout the day
Including lean proteins and healthy fats to slow digestion and reduce sugar spikes
Watching portion sizes and meal timing
Limiting added sugars and highly processed foods

Our experienced dietitians at My NutriHealth Tasmania can help you build a personalised plan that fits your lifestyle, medications, and health goals.

Creating a healthy home environment doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference. At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we support families with practical strategies to build lifelong habits that support wellbeing.

Here are some easy ways parents and caregivers can promote healthy eating at home:
Make Healthy Choices Visible
Keep fruit bowls on the bench, chopped veggies in the fridge, and water bottles within reach. When healthy options are easy to grab, they’re more likely to be eaten.
Eat Together When You Can
Shared meals help model positive eating behaviours and create opportunities to talk about food in a relaxed setting.
Get Kids Involved
Let children help with shopping, meal planning, or simple food prep. It builds confidence and encourages curiosity around food.
Keep It Simple
Quick meals like veggie-loaded wraps, stir-fries, or baked potatoes with toppings are nutritious and easy to prepare — perfect for busy families.
Offer, Don’t Force
Encourage variety by offering different foods regularly, but avoid pressure. Kids are more likely to try new things when they feel in control.

Strong bones start with smart nutrition and calcium, and vitamin D are the key players! At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we support older adults, people with disability, and active individuals to maintain bone health through practical, everyday food choices.

Calcium-Rich Foods
Calcium helps build and maintain strong bones. Great sources include:
Dairy foods like milk, yoghurt, and cheese
Fortified plant-based milks (check the label)
Tinned salmon and sardines (with bones)
Leafy greens like bok choy and kale
Almonds and tofu

Vitamin D for Absorption
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. You can get it from:
Safe sun exposure (just 10–30 minutes a few times a week)
Eggs, oily fish, and fortified foods
Supplements if recommended by your GP or dietitian

Why It Matters
Low calcium and vitamin D can increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, especially in older adults and people with limited mobility. We offer nutrition support to help you meet your needs and prevent malnutrition.
