Glycemic Index

Critically discuss the use of low glycaemic index diets in the treatment of type 2 diabetes You need to demonstrate your understanding of physiology or biochemical principles by the detailed consideration of each topic related to nutrition. Your target audience for the assignment is someone with a biomedical background, therefore, be selective of the basic information you include. A key skill you will utilise is selecting the important information you believe is relevant to the essay title.   Where relevant you should demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate current research, so it is important that you refer to and discuss relevant studies from the literature. Be mindful of including the appropriate level of detail from the different studies. Do not be too descriptive, but make sure you include enough relevant information for the reader to understand the relevance of the study. Make sure that you reference all your sources appropriately according to the Roehampton Reference Style guidelines (please see link elsewhere on this page) and that you always write using your own words rather than rephrasing the words of the various articles. The review should have a clear structure. This includes 1) introduction, 2) main part and 3) conclusion. The introduction should lead up to the main topic and give a brief background/reasoning for discussing the main part. It should end with a clear aim stating what you aim to cover in the main section. In the main part you need to compare and contrast different studies relevant for your topic. This should be supported by references to the literature. Make sure they are up to date (i.e. do not quote references exclusively from before 2000 – a lot has changed since then). The word requirement for the assignments is 2,000 words ± 10% and your mark will be affected if you are significantly above or below this limit.   How to write a review (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72zhL9xmJdI References guideline attached (both short and long one)
