PhD Project: Metabolic effects of high-fiber diets and low GI-diets among individuals with elevated cardiometabolic risk.
In my PhD project I am investigating the metabolic effects of high-fiber diets and low GI-diets among individuals with elevated cardiometabolic risk evaluating the potential use of foods rich in specific dietary fiber or GI-characteristics for prevention of obesity and pre-diabetes. I am also investigating the effect of beta-glucans in adults with pre-diabetes, in a big European multicenter clinical trial.

About Therese
I am a registered dietitian with a master’s in clinical nutrition. I really love science and research, especially working in a clinical trial when it is really “hands on” and meeting with participants. It is also interesting to see if we can prevent type 2 diabetes using foods that are easily available for most people since type 2 diabetes affects a lot of people all over the world.
