DESCRIPTION:*Diet and nutrition for the prevention and management of type 
 2 diabetes.*\n\nIt is now widely recognised that diet and nutrition play a
  vital part in the development of chronic disease conditions as well as ho
 lding the potential for their amelioration. Type 2 diabetes is one of the 
 biggest global public health challenges\, also placing a massive burden in
  the U.K. on people with diabetes\, their families and the wider society. 
 Urgent solutions are needed to help individuals with this condition as wel
 l as to prevent those at risk from developing it in the future. Dietary fa
 ctors can play a pivotal role in the prevention\, management and even the 
 possible reversal of type 2 diabetes\, but there is also a lot of confusio
 n and noise out there\, with conflicting dietary advice coupled with varyi
 ng quality of scientific evidence as well as vested interests for nutritio
 nal claims. This lecture aims to cut through this confusion to provide cla
 rity. I will summarise the recent developments in understanding of this sc
 ientific area and highlight key dietary strategies for type 2 diabetes\, d
 rawing on research led by my group as well as the work of others.\n\n"Add
