THE KETOGENIC DIET FOR DIABETES: EVIDENCE, IMPLEMENTATION, AND BEST PRACTICES

The Ketogenic Diet has shown promise in reducing reliance on medication and improvement of laboratory values. With just under 10 percent of the US population dealing with diabetes and more than twice as many with prediabetes, this is an approach that bears review. It is also not for everyone - it requires individualized attention, a high level of patient engagement and most importantly, multi-disciplinary collaboration. This webinar will deal with the evidence supporting its use and guidelines for implementation, monitoring and progression.

Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:

• Describe the ketogenic diet.



• Discuss the evidence supporting its therapeutic use, specifically in the management of Type II Diabetes, Prediabetes and Insulin Resistance.



• Identify the components required for successful implementation of the ketogenic diet including assessing patients/clients for appropriateness of diet.



• Review the steps for implementation, monitoring and progression of the ketogenic diet, including: initiation, patient monitoring, medication adjustment, diet expansion.



• Identify patient and clinician resources to support use and adherence to ketogenic diet.
