Before you book

Is a type 2 diabetes programme right for you?

It suits you if

  • Your polyclinic or specialist doctor has diagnosed your type 2 diabetes and you are 18 or older
  • You want to keep rice, roti and family meals, cooked with food from Singapore supermarkets, wet markets and Little India shops
  • You take tablets or insulin and want meals that fit your doctor or polyclinic team’s advice
  • You want help planning fasts, festivals and eating out

Speak to your doctor first if

  • You have type 1 diabetes or diabetes in pregnancy: this needs your specialist team
  • You often have low sugar readings, or very high readings
  • You feel very thirsty, pass a lot of urine or lose weight without trying
  • You want to reduce or stop medicines: only your doctor should change them

DietXP helps with food. Diagnosis, tests and medicines stay with your doctor or polyclinic.

Diabetes food support in Singapore

Type 2 diabetes and Indian food in Singapore

In a Singapore study that followed 7,427 adults for about seven years, people of Indian ethnicity had about twice the risk of developing type 2 diabetes of Chinese participants. We help you plan meals that fit your polyclinic or GP plan.

Alongside your family doctor or polyclinic

In Singapore your family doctor or polyclinic looks after your care. Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 40 and above can enrol in Healthier SG with one family clinic, which draws up a health plan with them. DietXP is a private online service from India and is not part of Healthier SG.

Indian food in Singapore

Tekka Centre and the shops around Little India stock everything from curry leaves to atta, and hawker favourites such as roti prata, thosai and nasi briyani are part of daily life. We plan around hawker meals, kopi and teh, and office lunches.

Practical details

  • Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India, so sessions fit easily into your day.
  • Fees are in SGD and are the full amount you pay.
  • In an emergency call 995. For medical advice when it is not an emergency, call the NurseFirst helpline on 6262 6262.

Hawker meals and your HbA1c

Roti prata, thosai, nasi briyani and sweet teh tarik are part of life here. We plan portions, pairings and drink swaps so you can still enjoy them within the targets your doctor sets.

Nutrition education and practical food support. Diagnosis, medicines and medical treatment stay with your treating team.

Getting ready

What to have ready for your first consultation

You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before your first consultation.

  • Your latest HbA1c (%) and glucose readings in mmol/L
  • Polyclinic or hospital reports, including your HealthHub records
  • Your medicines, including insulin doses and timings
  • Any low sugar episodes: when they happened and what you had eaten
  • What you eat on a usual day, including tea, snacks and sweets

Type 2 diabetes support in Singapore: your questions answered

Do I have to stop eating rice or roti?

Not automatically. Portions, meal combinations and your individual care plan matter. Your dietitian and treating team can help you work through what is appropriate for you.

How much do the type 2 diabetes programmes cost in Singapore?

Core (3 months) is SGD 460 and Extended (6 months) is SGD 874. These are the full prices, with nothing added when you pay.

What does each programme include?

Both start with a first consultation and a written food plan within 2 working days. Core adds 3 scheduled follow-ups and WhatsApp support during agreed hours. Extended adds 6 follow-ups, priority WhatsApp support, a nutrition progress assessment at 90 days and a full progress report at 180 days.

How do I pay?

After we confirm your booking in writing, we send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email. You pay the fee in SGD; payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee.

When will I get my written plan?

Within 2 working days of your first consultation. Your follow-ups, booked on Singapore time, then review how it is going and adjust the plan.

Which languages can I use?

English, Kannada, Tamil or Telugu, with Chandan. If you would prefer Hindi, tell us when you message us and we will tell you the options.

What time are the sessions?

Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India, so sessions fit easily into your day. We book a time that suits you.

Can I reduce or stop diabetes medicines?

Only your prescribing clinician should change medicines. Do not reduce or stop them because you start a nutrition programme or see a different glucose reading.

Is fasting or a very low-carbohydrate diet required?

No. Major changes to meals or fasting can affect glucose and may be unsafe with insulin or some medicines. Discuss them with your treating team before making changes.

Is this suitable for type 1 or pregnancy diabetes?

No. This programme is for adults with type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy need support from the appropriate specialist team.

Should I keep my polyclinic or Healthier SG check-ups?

Yes. Keep your HbA1c tests, medicine reviews and eye and foot checks. DietXP adds help with everyday meals between visits.

Is this part of Healthier SG?

No. DietXP is a private online service from India. Your Healthier SG clinic or polyclinic stays in charge of your care, and you can use DietXP alongside it.

Can my family join?

Yes. The person who cooks or helps with meals is welcome on your calls, whether they live in Singapore or in India. If you are contacting us for someone else, please let them know. We ask for their agreement before we discuss their health.

What happens when my programme ends?

You can finish there or ask about continuing. We explain the options and the fee before you book anything new.

Your doctor stays in charge

Keep following your clinician’s glucose-monitoring and low-glucose plan. Seek urgent local help for severe symptoms. We do not change medicines or manage glucose emergencies, and we do not claim to reverse or cure diabetes.

In an emergency call 995. For medical advice when it is not an emergency, call the NurseFirst helpline on 6262 6262.
