Diabetes afflicts some 347 million people worldwide. The vast majority of diabetics, about 90 percent, have Type 2 diabetes. According to the WHO, "Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset) results from the body's ineffective use of insulin…and is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity."
Want to prevent or reverse Type 2 diabetes? In short, you must stabilize your insulin levels and lose excess body weight. But what type of diet best achieves these ends for most people? Let's check in with the American Diabetes Association (ADA)…
The ADA doesn't recommend any particular macronutrient ratio for those battling diabetes. "A variety of dietary meal patterns," they suggest, "are likely effective in managing diabetes including Mediterranean-style, plant-based (vegan or vegetarian), low-fat and lower-carbohydrate eating patterns."
