Join us to explore the latest evidence on diabetes-specific nutritional formulas for individuals with diabetes and obesity. The symposium, “Nutrition, Diabetes and Obesity Care: Bridging Evidence and Clinical Practice,” takes place Sunday, June 22, 6:15–8:00 pm at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Chicago. Explore with experts who will review the latest evidence of the role of nutrition in managing diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk. This includes examining evidence supporting the benefits of diabetes-specific formulas as well as their role in supporting muscle health. Future research and innovation opportunities in nutrition support will also be discussed to enhance clinical practice and patient outcomes. Jeffrey I. Mechanick, MD, will moderate the session, featuring:
- Advancing Care: Guideline-Directed Nutritional Interventions for Diabetes and Obesity: Discover the spectrum of dysglycemia, abnormal adiposity, and cardiometabolic risk, the prevalence of disease-related malnutrition, and best practices for integrating nutrition interventions into clinical care. (Robert Kushner, MD)
- Benefits and Research Opportunities of Diabetes-Specific Formulas in Cardiometabolic-Based Chronic Disease: Explore evidence supporting diabetes-specific formulas for managing dysglycemia and cardiometabolic risk, and examine emerging research on their effects on body composition in people with diabetes. (Anna Maria Gomez, MD)
- Optimizing Muscle Health with Incretin-Mimetic Therapies: The Role of Nutritional Interventions: Evaluate the prevalence and impact of muscle dysfunction and loss in diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk; review the effects of incretin therapies on muscle health; and explore the role of diabetes-specific formulas in minimizing muscle loss. (Carla Prado, PhD, RD)
Our objective is to advance your knowledge of evidence-based nutrition strategies for diabetes and obesity while engaging with this panel of experts driving research and clinical innovation. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to learn and connect on groundbreaking trends for trends for diabetes and obesity care.
