Plant-based diets for treating type 2 diabetes and its complications

with Dr Sundhya Raman, Lifestyle Medicine Physician and co-founder of My Wellness Doctor

Hosted by Rohini Bajekal, Nutritionist & Board Member of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK
(CPD Accredited with 1 CPD Hour from the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and CME accredited for the LM MOC)

Our current model of diabetes management acts too far downstream in the pathophysiology of diabetes. As a consequence it lacks sufficient efficacy in preventing diabetic complications.  On the other hand, tackling the upstream drivers and mediators of diabetes allows us to demand less dramatic behaviour shifts in our patients, whilst simultaneously delivering dramatically improved diabetes outcomes.

What will I learn from this this webinar?

  • Recognise the limitations of pharmacological management of type 2 diabetes using the evidence base to inform management and reduce patient risk
  • Summarise the role of chronic inflammation, epigenetics and the microbiome in the etiology and management of type 2 diabetes
  • Learn how to prioritise lifestyle interventions for type 2 diabetics
