Plant-based or vegan diet may be best for keeping type 2 diabetes in check

[Northerner]

A predominantly plant-based or vegan diet may be best for keeping type 2 diabetes in check, not least because of its potential impact on mood, suggests a systematic review of the available evidence.

This diet is associated with improved psychological wellbeing, a reduction in some of the known risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and possibly some of those linked to cardiovascular disease, one of the main causes of early death in people with the condition, the findings indicate.

Big trial, so credible results. Thank goodness me and thee are T1, Northie.🙂

My initial period of diet when I was diagnosed was low calorie, so I cut out fats, and must admit, that became a mainly vegetable and salad diet as I remeber.
Certainly worked well for me.

You don't see many overweight vegans.

I heard an expert a few months back saying that as veganism has become more mainstream, many foods aimed at the market are not quite as healthy.
