Lecture at the University of Montpellier: “Diabetes: When Eating Is a Pleasure”
As part of European Disability Employment Week (SEEPH), the University of Montpellier is organizing a conference on type 2 diabetes that is open to everyone. It will take place on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Dumontet Auditorium on the Triolet campus.
A Multi-Perspective Look at Diabetes and Nutrition
Diabetes“is defined by elevated blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia. It is a chronic condition, meaning that there is no cure for diabetes, but blood sugar levels can be managed, which helps reduce the risk of complications associated with hyperglycemia.” Led by Ariane Sultan, a professor specializing in diabetes and nutrition at Lapeyronie University Hospital, this event aims to raise awareness of diabetes as an invisible disability—qualifying individuals for recognized status as a worker with a disability (RQTH)—and to promote a healthy diet that balances enjoyment with quality of life.
The conference will cover:
- 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 office of the Campus Life Department as part of the University ofUM ’s disability master plan and the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH).
