Are you interested in expanding your knowledge and skills in diabetes prevention and management?

“Dining with Diabetes” is a webinar event that focuses on the current nutritional research and ongoing practice to prevent and manage diabetes. The event will bring together the leading professionals in diabetes research to share their knowledge, experience and expertise on diabetes issues.

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases in Australia. All types of diabetes are complex and require daily care and management. Research has shown that having a healthy diet can help prevent Type 2 Diabetes, managing existing diabetes, and prevent or slow the rate of development of diabetes complications. With nearly 1 in 11 adults having diabetes worldwide and numbers rising every year, it’s never been more important to raise awareness of the ways nutrition and lifestyle factors can help manage or reduce the risk of diabetes.
