WELLfed
Learning how to cook diabetes-friendly meals that can transform health and wellbeing.
About WELLfed
WELLfed, in collaboration with Te Wāhi Tiaki Tātou and a network of community health providers, launched a Diabetes-Friendly Cooking & Education Programme.
This initiative was born from the Reimagining Living with Long-Term Diabetes workshops and aimed to empower individuals diagnosed with pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes.
The programme combined hands-on cooking sessions with in-depth education, equipping participants with practical tools to manage their health through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Led by Petrina Benny-Turner, an experienced registered nurse, this initiative fostered community, confidence, and long-term health improvements.
