This webinar is brought to you by the Dietitians Australia Education Centre (2024).

The Ages and Stages in the Nutrition Management of Type 2 Diabetes

This webinar focuses on the nuanced landscape of type 2 diabetes and Medical Nutritional Therapy (MNT) to support a diverse age group. From teenagers and young adults to fragile, aged care residents, the speakers will discuss nutrition and diabetes management for each life stage – recognizing that one size does not fit all! The webinar also includes a special low-carb master session, responding to the high demand for insights on type 2 diabetes and remission.

The webinar aims to provide valuable resources for dietitians seeking a comprehensive and practical understanding of effective dietary management in type 2 diabetes. By participating, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of type 2 diabetes across different ages but also uncover the intricacies of its progression. Be prepared for engaging presentations on nutrition therapy guidelines, where the speakers will debunk the myth of a one-size-fits-all approach. We will explore the essential components of dietary management, including carbohydrate and calorie modifications, and bring theory to life through real-life case studies.
