Dietitian Course: The Ketogenic Diet in the Management of Type II Diabetes and Prediabetes

THE KETOGENIC DIET IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TYPE II DIABETES AND PREDIABETES

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.

FOR CDCESs: This Course Qualifies for CE Credit!

To satisfy the requirement for renewal of certification according to the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE, www.cbdce.org), courses must relate to diabetes and be part of the list of recognized providers of the CBDCE. The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) is listed as an CBDCE recognized provider. Because Dietitian Central has been granted accreditation by the CDR, it therefore meets the criteria as an approved provider of CEs for CDCESs by the CBDCE. The CBDCE does not directly approve continuing education for any specific webinar or self study course.
