Dianne’s PhD included a dietary intervention randomized controlled trial funded by Public Health England and the UK Food Standards Agency. The study investigated the impact of following UK dietary guidelines on cardiovascular disease risk in healthy people. She also investigated the cost of dietary changes consistent with UK dietary guidelines, and conducted a qualitative exploration of randomized participants.

Dr Reidlinger's current research interests are focused primarily on dietary interventions to support the prevention and management of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.  Exploring consumer and patient preferences for the translation of evidence into practice, and to inform patient-focused service delivery, is an important component of her current research projects.  She is experienced in a range of research methodologies including systematic literature reviews, randomised controlled trial designs and qualitative studies.
