Diabetes Lecture Series: A New Approach to Diet and Diabetes Control
New clinical research suggests a low-fat vegan diet may improve glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This course will focus on the most recent evidence about vegetarian nutrition in the management of type 2 diabetes. Strategies for implementation and for medical management of patients using this approach will be explored. The course will also provide participants with practical patient-education tools for immediate use.
