To quote their own words -

"Mediterranean diets rich in fruit and vegetables are known to be healthy for people with diabetes.

As well as being protective against type 2 diabetes, Mediterranean diets rich in fruit, vegetables and fibre can help people with diabetes to control their blood sugar levels."

That's probably the website charity lot, not the forum - the advice on the site is often completely insane and makes me think that no one there has ever had to deal with type 2 diabetes, at least, not successfully.

"Mediterranean diet for heart health"​

"Mediterranean diet as effective as statins in terms of reducing heart attack risk, study suggests"​

It's good to see the diet being so well promoted.
