Course Description
In the contemporary world, diabetes is considered one of the leading causes of morbidity. According to the International Diabetes Federation, UAE has one of the world’s highest prevalences of diabetes. Nutrition has an important role to play in the management of diabetes along with pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification.
Medical nutrition therapy is an integral component of Diabetes Management and Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME). Medical practitioners should upskill themselves with the current dietary recommendations for diabetes to provide appropriate patient education to facilitate strict glycemic control. There is a need for an education program that will provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge required to deliver evidence-based nutritional interventions to diabetes patients.
The Certificate in Diabetes Nutrition course will help clinicians and dieticians to increase awareness of the principles of nutrition therapy, and diet plans for diabetes patients. The course will provide you with knowledge on how to create beneficial nutritional interventions by combining evidence-based recommendations and considering the individual’s cultural, and ethnic background, and personal preferences. Guidelines recommend that a knowledgeable and skilled dietician should be primarily involved in nutrition therapy for diabetes.
