Just diagnosed with type 2?
This window matters. What you build in the next few months can shape everything that follows - you don’t have to work it out alone.
You are not your diabetes. You are not alone.
Your numbers aren’t made at appointments. They’re made at home, in the ordinary hours between them - and that’s where your PREKURE Coach works: one-on-one, evidence-based, alongside your GP.

Sound familiar?
“I left the appointment with a pamphlet and a follow-up in three months.”
“I know what I’m supposed to eat. Doing it every day, in my house, is another thing.”
“They said ‘prediabetes’, gave me a leaflet, and told me they’d re-test in a year.”
“I was told it only gets worse. Part of me doesn’t accept that.”
Blood sugar is physiology, not a willpower test.
Your body regulates blood glucose through a complex physiological system. Food quality, muscle, sleep, stress, medicines, illness and the environment around you all shift it. None of what you’ve tried failed because of your character.
Pamphlets
give you information.
Appointments
give you a check-in.
Your medicines
do their job.
The “it only gets worse” story
This does not have to be your story.
The pamphlet, the check-in, the prescription: each does its job. None of them comes home with you.
The missing piece: Someone helping you do it, week after week. A qualified person in your corner - a real coach who follows up.
Change you build yourself, with support and accountability, is the change that lasts.
What is a PREKURE Coach?
A PREKURE Certified Health Coach: trained in lifestyle medicine and behaviour-change science, through a curriculum built by professors, doctors and health professionals. They’re the person who helps you turn what you know into what you actually do - alongside your healthcare team, never instead of it.
The goal isn’t to need us forever; it’s to get your health back in your hands.
Wherever you are with it.
Living with it for years?
You’ve been managed, not supported. The numbers move on what happens between appointments - that’s the part nobody’s ever helped you with.
Told you have prediabetes?
You’ve been given the warning early enough to act on it. The work is the same: food, muscle, sleep, stress, follow-through.
This takes months, not days. We are not a shortcut or a cure; we help you do the work consistently in real life.
How you’ll know it’s working.
Every programme starts by agreeing what matters most to you. For most people that centres on HbA1c - the blood test your GP already does. You’ll measure it, with a progress review partway through and an outcome review at the end. The number is never read alone: nourishment, strength, sleep and how you’re actually feeling all count. If the plan isn’t working, we say so, and we change the plan.

Published research has found some people can reach remission with intensive, well-supported lifestyle changes. We don’t promise remission, reversal or reduced medicines. What we do promise: mapping the drivers, testing targeted changes, and measuring the result with your GP.
Yes. The programme is built for type 2 and prediabetes, and the work is the same: food, muscle, sleep, stress and follow-through. We measure with your GP so you know whether the drivers are moving.
Never. As your numbers change, your medicines may need reviewing, which is exactly why your GP stays in the loop.
Yes, done properly - meaning your GP knows. Changes to eating and activity can lower blood glucose, so your prescriber may need to review your medicines as you go.
They’re clinical experts - use them. A PREKURE Coach works alongside them on the doing, week after week, not the advising.
The Action Plan Session is free. Essentials is $490, Core is $990 and Gold is $1,890. A single coaching session is $150. All prices are NZD.
No - but we’ll ask you to tell your GP you’re doing this and keep your regular reviews.
HbA1c reflects about three months of blood sugar, so it moves slowly and can’t be rushed. That’s why the outcome review sits at the end of the programme, alongside the blood tests your GP already does.
A PREKURE Certified Health Coach is trained through a curriculum built by professors, doctors and health professionals in lifestyle medicine and behaviour-change science. They’re not a personal trainer, a dietitian or a therapist. They’re the person who helps you turn what you know into what you actually do, week after week, and they work alongside your GP, never instead of them.
That depends on the coach. Generic tips you can get anywhere, free. A PREKURE Coach is a certified health coach trained through a curriculum built by professors, doctors and health professionals - and their job isn’t to hand you more advice. It’s to help you turn what you already know into what you actually do.
For adults with clinician-diagnosed type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who are suitable for coaching. This programme works alongside usual clinical care and does not replace medical advice or medicine review. PREKURE Diabetes does not prescribe, supply or adjust medicines.
