After seeing so many people transform their health over the years, Dr. Jedha merged her knowledge and experience with rigorous academic research to develop the T2Diet Program, leading world-first multiphase research through Deakin University to investigate the effectiveness of a digital nutrition program for people with type 2 diabetes.

The T2Diet Program is now provided to people all across the globe and is changing lives. Learn more at T2Diet Program (global) and T2Diet.com.au.

The T2Diet Study involved world-first innovations including:

• the first study to thoroughly explore and report user-centred co-design and development of a web-based dietary program for people with type 2 diabetes
• the first study to conduct a randomised controlled trial of a web-based low carb nutrition program (10-<26% carbohydrate of total energy intake); and only one of three digital programs worldwide to evaluate a digital dietary program using a randomised controlled trial (the strongest form of evidence)
• the first study to use a mixed-methods assessment of user experience and engagement of a web-based dietary program for people with type 2 diabetes

Dr. Jedha’s manuscripts have been published in leading international journals.

On a personal level, Dr. Jedha enjoys organic vegetable gardening, yoga, swimming, being in nature, and precious time with grandchildren and family.
