Chronic low-grade inflammation plays a key role in developing and progressing insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. As the role of inflammation in diabetes and metabolic disorders becomes more evident, there is a growing interest in addressing inflammation to better prevent and control the disease. This webinar will examine the underlying causes of chronic inflammation, focusing on the complex relationship between glycemic control, metabolic health, and inflammation. We will review current inflammation assessment methods and present evidence-based dietary strategies to reduce the inflammatory response and enhance metabolic health.
