Food Vitals Webinar - Type 2 Diabetes: Reversal and Weight Loss

Remission is the optimal outcome for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), according to a recent expert consensus statement endorsed by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology. Furthermore, the consensus panel agreed that remission is a realistic and achievable goal for some adults with T2DM and that diet as a primary intervention for T2DM can achieve remission in many adults. Yet Australia is seeing a dramatic increase in T2DM, with over 1.2 million (4.9%) adults currently living with the condition. People with diabetes are often prescribed life-long medication, suffer with microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes and face a shorter life expectancy. This webinar will explore how GPs and other health professionals can support their patients with T2DM to put this condition into remission through nutrition. Dr. Neal Barnard (MD, FACC, Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C.) will present compelling research on nutrition and T2DM. By the end of this activity, attendees will be able to: \- describe the pathophysiology of T2DM. \- list features of a healthy eating pattern that can prevent, manage and reverse T2DM. \- effectively communicate to patients how to transition to a whole food, plant-based eating pattern. Following the presentation, you will have the opportunity to have your questions answered live. FAQs Q: Is the webinar CPD accredited / can I get a certificate of attendance?
