On October 22, 2022, IPTN hosted its third international scientific conference virtually, using the forum to showcase type 1 diabetes (T1D) researchers, as well as professionals living with the disease. Topics included inter-individual glucose and insulin responses and the need for personalized therapeutic nutrition approaches, and insulin resistance as a feature across all types of T1D.
Speakers explored personal aspects of living with type 1 diabetes such as distress associated with eating, weight, and body image. A key theme was the importance for healthcare professionals to establish and foster a trusting and supportive relationship with clients that promotes self awareness, self acceptance, and responsibility for change.
If you missed the conference, recordings will be available in early 2023 through our Community of Practice, a diverse online gathering of people that's free and offers opportunity for further development, learning, and connection.
