Plant-based diets in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes with Dr Nicola Guess RD

Hosted by Rohini Bajekal, Nutritionist & Board Member of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK What will I learn from this webinar? 1. To understand the mechanisms of action of plant-based diet on glycaemic control. 2. To put the impact of plant-based components on glycaemic control into context by considering the larger role of weight loss. 3. To learn how to formulate plant-based diet based on patient preference and other cardiometabolic risk factors. About our speaker Dr Guess is an academic dietitian and researcher specialising in the dietary prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. She leads the day-to-day management of the NewDAWN (Diabetes Adaptive Weight management Network) research programme. NewDAWN aims to determine whether a new care pathway, offering support for a sequence of NHS weight-loss programmes leads to a higher proportion of people with overweight and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) achieving remission compared with a total diet replacement programme. She also has an interest in calorie-independent dietary approaches to T2D management and has led a number of dietary trials in protein and carbohydrate manipulation to investigate their effects on glucose. Furthermore, there is a large gap in our understanding of how nutrition affects the underlying pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes so she also collaborates with islet researchers to understand how amino acids, and other dietary components affect acute and chronic beta-cell function.
