Question

Millions of people worldwide have type 2 diabetes, which damages the heart, kidneys, and nerves. Due to its increased incidence, type 2 diabetes care solutions are needed to enhance patient outcomes (Berbudi et al., 2020). Recent attention has focused on plant-based diets. Several studies have studied how a plant-based diet reduces type 2 diabetes blood glucose. A 6-month plant-based diet improved HbA1c levels compared to a standard diabetic diet in a comprehensive study by Jayedi et al. (2022). Weight loss and insulin sensitivity improved, suggesting a plant-based diet could regulate diabetes. Plant-based diets contain entire grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds and no meat, dairy, or eggs. A high-fibre, low-fat diet helps type 2 diabetics manage blood glucose (Ivanova et al., 2021). The benefits of a plant-based diet for type 2 diabetes go beyond glucose management. Low-carbohydrate plant-based diets regulated glucose-lipid utilization in diabetic mice's skeletal muscle, reducing insulin resistance and perhaps glycemic control, report Li et al. (2023). Plant-based diets reduce cardiovascular disease, a common type 2 diabetes complication (Ivanova et al., 2021)-heart disease risk factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight decrease. Plant-based diets may improve mental and physical wellness in type.
