Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diet is an important part of the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. An aim of my research is to study the effect of dietary interventions on HbA1c, blood lipids, and low-grade inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes.

An aim of my research is to investigate the association of low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular health.
