CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The gut microbiota has been linked to many conditions far beyond the gastrointestinal tract, but a direct cause-effect relationship is difficult to prove in most cases.
- The role of microbiota in relation to metabolism
- How changes in microbial activity might be connected to the development of diabetes
- The effect of diet on microbiota
- Whether nutritional modification can target diabetes directly
WATCH THE WEBINAR TO
GAIN CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:
- The metabolic effects of gut-derived short-chain fatty acids
- The effects of carbohydrate, fat and protein on the gut microbiota
BE AWARE OF:
- The factors that affect the composition of the microbiota in health and in diabetes
- The current evidence linking prebiotics to glucose control in type 2 diabetes
- The concept of responders and non-responders in the microbiota response to dietary interventions
BE ABLE TO:
- Predict how diets of different macronutrient composition (for example plant-based, ketogenic, VLED) might impact on the gut microbiota
