#WholeNZ

#WholeNZ is a collective movement in NZ, representing a unified effort aimed at reversing pre-diabetes and T2diabetes in our communities. Our goal is to improve the way healthcare is delivered to those living with diabetes and more broadly, chronic disease, by promoting a whole food, carbohydrate-reduction approach grounded in strategies designed to foster
behaviour change.

We comprise a diverse group of passionate promoters of health from various settings including academics, clinicians, nurses, health coaches, dietitians, health care managers /directors and others motivated to help change the face of healthcare in NZ.

#WholeNZ was founded in 2023 by an expert team of AUT academics and clinicians from around NZ* who have been working together for many years towards progressing this goal, and who are now collaborating in a 3-year Health Research Council-funded project aimed at implementing and evaluating the “Reverse T2D approach” in primary care in NZ.
