Conference at the University of Montpellier: “Diabetes: When food rhymes with pleasure”
As part of European Disability Employment Week (ED EW), the University of Montpellier is organizing a conference open to all on type 2 diabetes. It will take place on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Dumontet amphitheater on the Triolet campus.
A cross-disciplinary look at diabetes and nutrition
Diabetes"is defined by an increase in blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia. It is a chronic disease, meaning that diabetes cannot be cured, but blood sugar levels can be balanced, which reduces the risk of complications associated with hyperglycemia." Hosted by Ariane Sultan, a professor specializing in diabetology and nutrition at Lapeyronie University Hospital, this meeting aims to raise awareness of diabetes as an invisible disability, enabling recognition as a disabled worker (RQTH), and to promote healthy eating that combines pleasure and quality of life.
The conference will address:
- the links between diet and diabetes management;
- current nutritional recommendations, through a humanistic and personalized approach to nutrition.
This conference is organized by the Handiversité service of the Campus Life Department as part of the UM's disability master plan and European Disability Employment Week (EDEW). More info here. The conference will be followed by a presentation on nutrition and type 2 diabetes by the Joint Preventive Medicine and Health Promotion Service (SCMPPS).
