Following the publication of the SACN report on lower carbohydrates for Type 2 Diabetes there has been a renewed focus on the role of diet and its potential for reversing Type 2 Diabetes. However it is important for practitioners to acknowledge there are a number of effective strategies to control and even reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

Nutritionist Christine Bailey will explore the variety of approaches shown to be effective together with supplement strategies and a look at key lab markers to be monitoring using Functional DX panels. She will discuss what is meant by a low Carbohydrate diet, how to practically reduce carbohydrate intake as well as the importance of the microbiome with glucose management. She will also discuss supporting older patients, children with Type 2 diabetes and resources to support practitioners. Information will be given on supplement use and the role of lifestyle factors.
