Supporting patient nutrition during GLP-RA therapy Supporting Patient Nutrition During Glp Ra Therapy

This webinar from the 81st American Diabetes Association presented by Dr. Ian J.Neeland and Professor Roy Taylor, discusses the current and emerging novel non-pharmacological approaches to the prevention and remission of type 2 diabetes, weight management, and CV risk reduction. This webinar also explores how visceral fat plays a role in the pathogenesis of obesity and co-morbidities.

This online resource is a patient information booklet highlighting the VLED diet required 2 weeks before bariatric surgery including sample meal plans and recipes. This pre-bariatric surgery patient information booklet covers why the diet is necessary pre-surgery as well as some of the challenges that patients completing the VLED may come across.

An online patient brochure explaining what protein is and the importance of optimal protein intake during the process of weight loss. The brochure also outlines the key features and benefits of OPTIFAST VLCD Protein Plus Shake products and how patients can utilise the Protein Plus Shake products as part of the OPTIFAST VLCD Program.

In this retrospective observational study it examines the increased nutritional risks in adults who undergo GLP-1 RA therapy, including those with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity.

One challenge that arises after the completion of any weight loss therapy is weight regain. OPTIFAST VLCD products can be beneficial to help individuals maintain nutritional balance and reduce overall caloric intake to support continued weight management.

This study aimed to determine the demographic, eating, self‐efficacy and program engagement characteristics of VLCD users in Australia (regular vs. intermittent users) and associations with self‐perceived program success on weight loss, quality of life (QOL), mental health and physical health.

This retrospective review evaluates real world clinical experience of concomitant use of meal replacement products and GLP-1 RAs in Australia and South Africa. The results illustrate that this combination for weight management is feasible in real-life and may offer potential advantages for weight management.

Join Dr Mark Mellor (GP) and Dr Don Zhang (GP) for a conversation on their thoughts and experiences with weight management tools in primary care, including dietary restriction, VLEDs and GLP-1 RAs. Duration: 15 minutes.

This research explores participant acceptability, adherence, safety, and experiences of using a short-term total diet replacement and a food-based low energy diet in adults living with chronic kidney disease and obesity.

This video abstract provides an overview of DiRECT-Aus trial, which confirms that an intensive lifestyle intervention (very low energy diet) delivered in an Australian primary care setting results in remission of type 2 diabetes for one in two participants.

The OPTIFAST Diabetes Management Guidelines have been developed to assist healthcare professionals manage patients with diabetes and excess weight who may be at greater health risk.

Recent years have seen a surge in popularity of eating patterns involving intermittent fasting as a way to manage and optimise health. This webinar reviews the health and physiological benefits of intermittent fasting, exploring the two most popular forms of intermittent energy restriction (The 5:2 Diet and Alternate-Day fasting).
