No scale, no app, no list of banned foods. Just one dinner plate.

Half: veg that isn't starchy.
A quarter: protein.
A quarter: quality carbs. Yes, mieliepap fits.

It's the method the American Diabetes Association still recommends for getting started, and it works surprisingly well with South African food. The catch is on slide 6.

Save this for tonight's supper. If you're on insulin or diabetes tablets, the portions should be matched to your medication, and that's exactly what a first visit is for.

"Your sugar's a bit high, keep an eye on it."

If a doctor has said that to you, this one's for you. Prediabetes isn't a waiting room before the real thing. It's the stage where food, movement and sleep make the biggest difference, and where blood sugar can genuinely go back to normal.

In a German lifestyle study, people whose glucose returned to normal had a 73% lower risk of type 2 diabetes two years after the programme ended. The weight target behind that is about 7%, which is a lot smaller than most people expect.

The International Diabetes Federation's theme for World Diabetes Day this year is early action. This is what early action looks like.

We went quiet on here for a few months. The clinic didn't.

So, a proper re-introduction. Four registered dietitians, three sets of rooms, and ward rounds at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt, Durbanville and Cape Gate. If your doctor has referred you to us, or you've been meaning to book for a while, these are the people you'll actually see.

Over the next few weeks we'll be posting about blood sugar, GLP-1 support, gut health and food you'll actually want to cook. Practical, calm and backed by the current guidelines. If there's something you want us to cover, leave it in the comments.

"Just cut salt" is only one fifth of the story. The DASH pattern lowers blood pressure through potassium, fibre, weight, movement and cutting hidden salt, not white-knuckling the salt shaker.
(Most of our salt comes from packaged food, not the shaker.)

Daily afternoon bloating isn't random. It's almost always one of these five: eating too fast, too much fibre too soon, not enough water, a big FODMAP load, or stress.
Work through them before you cut whole food groups. (Persistent, painful, or with weight loss or blood? Please get assessed.)

Everyone reaches for low-FODMAP first. But the simple first-line steps settle a lot of guts before you ever need to restrict.
Regular slow meals, trim caffeine, alcohol, fizzy and fatty foods, adjust fibre and fluid, and watch fruit and sorbitol. Then, if needed, low-FODMAP: dietitian-led and time-limited, not DIY.

Menopause care shouldn't stop at managing hot flashes. The quiet losses, muscle and bone, are the ones that shape how strong you feel at 70.
Protect both: protein, colourful veg and a smart carb most meals, calcium and vitamin D (checked, not guessed), and resistance training.

If your old diet tricks stopped working in your 40s and 50s, you're not failing. The rules changed.

Menopause shifts your metabolism, muscle and the way you handle carbs. So "eat less, do more cardio" can quietly backfire. What actually helps: protein every meal, strength training, and fibre.

"Eat more protein" is useless without a number. Here's the actual maths we use with GLP-1 patients, plus how to hit it when you're barely hungry.
Roughly 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg to protect muscle, spread across the day, with shakes or sachets to fill the gaps.

Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro can be brilliant tools, but rapid weight loss doesn't only burn fat. Protecting your muscle is what keeps your metabolism, bones and energy intact (and helps stop the regain later).

Here's how we do it. Protein first, every meal, plus strength work 2 to 3 times a week.
