The role of dietary protein in the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Description

The Role of Dietary Protein in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes provides an overview of how amino acid/protein can be used as a nutritional strategy to modulate glycemic control. Featuring one of the most respected sports scientists in the world, this Tutorial Lecture from the 2009 ACSM annual meeting discusses the fact that hyperglycemia is a severely underestimated problem in type 2 diabetes and explains why pharmaceutical intervention does not provide ample protection from postprandial hyperglycemia. The DVD details how the co-ingestion of protein (hydrolysate) with or without additional leucine can be used to augment postprandial insulin secretion and improve glucose homeostasis in long-term diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.
