A look at diabetes and nutrition
Diabetes " is defined by a rise in blood sugar levels, known as elevated glycemia. It is a chronic disease, which means that diabetes cannot be cured, but blood sugar levels can be balanced, thereby reducing the risk of complications associated with hyperglycemia". Hosted by Ariane Sultan, a professor specializing in diabetology and nutrition at the CHU Lapeyronie, this meeting aims to raise awareness of diabetes as an invisible handicap, enabling recognition of disabled worker status (RQTH), and to promote healthy eating that reconciles pleasure and quality of life.
The conference will address :
- the links between diet and diabetes management ;
- current nutritional recommendations, via a humanistic and personalized approach to nutrition.
This conference is organized by the Handiversity Department of the Campus Life Division as part of UM's disability master plan and the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH).
