Dr Sarah Hallberg Legacy Course

Dr. Ronald M. Krauss, MD, Professor of Medicine at UCSF and Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley, and Nina Teicholz, PhD, author and science journalist, co-organized this course on Dietary Approaches to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes. The course is offered as a legacy to the late Dr. Sarah Hallberg, a pioneer in the research and promotion of putting type 2 (T2) diabetes into remission—or “reversal” of the disease, as she preferred to describe the process of restoring average blood sugar (A1c) to normal levels while eliminating the need for all or most medications.

About the Course

Contrary to the common belief that type 2 diabetes is a lifelong, ever-worsening progressive and chronic condition, the disease can be put into remission, sustainably, through changes in diet alone. This course addresses the science and practice of the nutritional therapies that achieve these results.

The course covers the definitions of remission and “reversal,” the definition and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, the metabolic basis for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets, a review of the clinical trial evidence for T2 reversal through dietary approaches, the practical approaches to implementing and maintain low-carbohydrate diets, and a review of patient cases, as well as a panel discussion with audience questions.
