Cameron Johnson - Specialist Diabetes Dietitian
More than 20 years helping people make better sense of diabetes, food and long-term health.
I’m Cam Johnson, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and specialist diabetes dietitian based in Melbourne.
I provide practical, evidence-based nutrition support for people with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and those taking GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro.
My approach is not about handing you another rigid diet. It is to help you understand your food choices, glucose patterns, medications and habits, so you can make decisions with more confidence and less overwhelm.

Who I work with
I provide nutrition support for people managing:
Type 2 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
Gestational diabetes
Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance
GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro
Carbohydrate counting
Glucose patterns, CGM data and food choices
Long-term habit change and weight management
Each person’s diabetes, medications, food preferences and lifestyle are different, so nutrition advice should be personalised rather than based on one-size-fits-all food rules.
What to expect when we work together
When we work together, diabetes nutrition becomes clearer, more practical and easier to apply in real life.
We may work on:
Understanding what eating well looks like for your diabetes, medications and health goals.
Building meals that support glucose levels, appetite, energy and long-term health.
Adjusting carbohydrate portions, protein, fibre, meal timing and food choices in a way that feels realistic.
Using glucose data, food patterns and symptoms to guide decisions.
Creating habits and strategies you can return to on busy, stressful or imperfect days.
I help you more away from dietary rules and perfection, and focus instead on building practical skills, confidence and habits that can last.

A little more about Cam
Outside of dietetics, I enjoy nature photography, hiking, rock climbing, yoga and freediving.
These interests remind me that progress comes from small consistent actions, self-awareness, and patience.
