A healthful plant-based diet is associated with lower type 2 diabetes risk via improved metabolic state and organ function: A prospective cohort study

Diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathy: Is prescribing physical exercise the answer?

“…This approach should undoubtedly include appropriate counseling and regular follow-up to sustain benefits and delay the onset of diabetes and DPN. Recent studies suggest that a healthful plant-based diet is associated with a 24% lower risk of T2D [46], and a low-inflammatory diet is associated with a decreased risk of T2D by as much as 74% [47]. For example, normoglycemic or pre-diabetes subjects on a low-inflammatory diet and with a low genetic predisposition to acquiring T2D, showed a significant reduction (74% [HR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.21-0.32] or 51% [HR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.40-0.59]) in T2D risk compared to those with high genetic risk on high-inflammatory diets.…”

“…In this study, researchers explored why people following plantbased diets seem to have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 6 They used information from the UK Biobank, a study of people aged 40 to 69 years. The 113,097 study participants were followed for 12 years, during which 2628 of them developed type 2 diabetes.…”

“…Eating plant‐based diets has become more popular because they are considered environmentally friendly and have been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. In this study, researchers explored why people following plant‐based diets seem to have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes 6 …”
