Inger Nilsen

Inger Nilsen is a doctoral student affiliated with the Center for Clinical Research Dalarna at Uppsala University, where she focuses on glucose profile analysis and dietary factors in relation to bariatric surgery. She works as a dietitian and business developer within the Dietitian and Speech Pathologist practice, bridging clinical research with practical applications.

Research Focus

Her research investigates the metabolic impacts of bariatric surgery, including glycemic variability, nutrient absorption, and postoperative dietary adaptations. Key areas include:

• Glucose metabolism before and after surgical interventions
• Effects of low-energy diets on preoperative outcomes
• Postprandial insulin and electrolyte imbalances
• Magnesium status in type 2 diabetes remission

Her work primarily examines Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and duodenal switch patients, with a strong emphasis on interstitial glucose monitoring and long-term metabolic health.
