Jodie Kennett is a credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) and Dietitian based in Port Macquarie. She works from 1 Begonia Place, Port Macquarie NSW 2444. If you’re living with diabetes, or supporting someone who is, her appointments are built around real-life choices—food, daily routines, and how to understand blood sugar results without the stress.
Jodie helps people manage diabetes with clear, practical guidance. That can include nutrition counselling for diabetes management, learning how to monitor blood sugar, and making meal plans that fit your life. At times it can feel like there’s a lot to take in. She keeps it simple and helps you build habits that are doable week to week.
Many people come in after diagnosis, after a change in medication, or because their numbers have been hard to control. Others just want a better plan for balancing meals, reducing spikes, and keeping things steady. Jodie’s focus is on understanding patterns—what you eat, when you eat, and how activity and timing can affect blood sugar.
Along with food, she also looks at the role of exercise. That might mean simple suggestions for adding movement to your day, like walking plans, or thinking through what to do before and after being active. The goal is not perfection. It’s safer, more confident choices that support your health.
For blood sugar monitoring, Jodie explains what the readings can mean and how to use that information. She also covers meal planning guidance for diabetes, including how to choose meals that help you feel satisfied while still supporting your targets. If you’ve ever wondered how to read labels or what “better options” actually look like on a regular day, this is the kind of practical support she offers.
Jodie’s work is grounded in education and care, and she aims to make appointments feel calm and useful. You leave with clearer next steps, not just information. She also supports ongoing learning, so you can adjust your plan as your life changes—work, family, travel, and everything in between.
