Fat or Carbohydrate Restriction for the Treatment of Diabetes?
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Fat or Carbohydrate Restriction for the Treatment of Diabetes? is organized by Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and will be held during Apr 08, 2015 - Mar 08, 2018. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 3.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description :
In Treatment of Diabetes (Part 1): The Look AHEAD Approach, John Foreyt, PhD will discuss the ways to improve type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Dr. Foreyt will also cover why dietary carbohydrate restriction is not required to see improvements in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as the best predictor of microvascular and to a lesser extent, macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes is glycemic control.
In Treatment of Diabetes (Part 2): Low-glycemic Index, Kevin C. Maki, PhD, CLS, FNLA, FTOS will discuss the number of ways in which diabetes can be improved, including using a low-glycemic index diet. Dietary carbohydrate restriction is not required to see improvements in type 2 diabetes if the carbohydrates consumed have a low-glycemic index.
In Treatment of Diabetes (Part 3): Carbohydrate-restricted Approach, William Yancy, MD will describe the reasons that carbohydrate restriction can help eliminate the need for medication in people with type 2 diabetes and can reduce the amount of insulin required for people with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Yancy suggests that intensive glucose lowering by dietary carbohydrate restriction has no side effects comparable to the effects of intensive pharmacologic treatment.
In Treatment of Diabetes (Part 4): Panel Discussion, the panel will deliberat
Conference Objectives are:
• Evaluate the LOOK AHEAD approach as a viable dietary method for attaining glycemic control.
• Evaluate low-glycemic index as a dietary method for attaining glycemic control.
• Evaluate carbohydrate restriction as a dietary method for attaining glycemic control.
• Evaluate various dietary methods for attaining glycemic control.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
