Diabetes dietitian for Type 2 diabetes and GLP-1 nutrition
Cameron Johnson - Accredited Practising Dietitian
I’m Cam, an Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Melbourne, working with people across Australia via telehealth. For more than 20 years helping people make better sense of food, glucose patterns and the realities of daily life with diabetes.
My job is to turn nutrition science into clear, realistic steps so you can manage diabetes with more confidence and less overwhelm.

Clinical experience you can trust
I have worked in diabetes care for more than 20 years across tertiary teaching hospitals, specialist diabetes clinics, diabetes institutes and private telehealth practice.
My experience includes senior clinical dietitian roles, professional education, mentoring health professionals, conference presentations and involvement in diabetes research.
Today, through Deconstructing Diabetes, I bring that experience into practical online consultations that focus on real food decisions, glucose patterns and long-term habits.
How I work
I don’t give rigid meal plans or lists of foods to avoid. There are no good or bad foods. Instead we work out what eating well looks like for your diabetes, your medications and your life, and build habits you can return to on busy, stressful or imperfect days.
If you monitor your glucose levels, we can review your readings or CGM data together to identify patterns and understand how food, meal timing and physical activity affect your glucose levels. This helps you make more informed, confident food choices.
Who I work with
Type 2 diabetes
GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro
Type 1 diabetes
Gestational diabetes
Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance
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. Nutrition advice works best when it is personalised, practical and realistic.
What to expect when we work together
When we work together, diabetes nutrition becomes clearer, more practical and easier to apply in daily 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
The focus is on building practical skills, confidence and habits that can last.

Outside of work
Away from the clinic I enjoy nature photography, hiking, rock climbing, yoga and freediving. They remind me that progress comes from small consistent actions, self-awareness, and patience, which is much of what I help my clients practise.
