Webinar on Visceral Fat Decoded: Your Key to Diabetes Prevention

On World Diabetes Day, the International Patients’ Union and Health Parliament came together to host an insightful webinar titled “Visceral Fat Decoded: Your Key to Diabetes Prevention.”

The session highlighted how visceral fat—often referred to as “hidden fat”—is stored deep within the abdomen, surrounding vital organs, and is strongly linked to insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Despite its significant impact on health, visceral fat often goes unnoticed and misunderstood.

The webinar focused on unpacking the science behind visceral fat and its direct correlation with diabetes, drawing on recent research and medical insights. The discussion emphasized prevention through awareness, lifestyle modification, and evidence-based management strategies.

The 45-minute expert-led discussion, followed by a 15-minute interactive Q&A, enabled participants to engage directly with specialists and seek credible, science-backed guidance on diabetes prevention and management.

Key Focus Areas Covered:

Understanding visceral fat and how it differs from other body fats
The link between visceral fat, insulin resistance, and diabetes
Lifestyle factors influencing visceral fat accumulation
Practical, evidence-based strategies for prevention and reduction
Debunking common myths around weight, diet, and diabetes

The session reinforced the importance of informed, preventive action in addressing diabetes risk.
