Abstract:
Vegetarian and vegan diets offer significant benefits for diabetes
management.
In observational studies, individuals following vegetarian diets are
about half as
likely to develop diabetes, compared with non-vegetarians.
In clinical trials in individuals with type 2 diabetes, low-fat vegan
diets improve
glycemic control to a greater extent than conventional diabetes
diets.
Although this effect is primarily attributable to greater weight loss,
evidence
also suggests that reduced intake of saturated fats and high-glycemic-
index
foods, increased intake of dietary fiber and vegetable protein,
reduced
intramyocellular lipid concentrations, and decreased iron stores
mediate the
influence of plant-based diets on glycemia.
Vegetarian and vegan diets also improve plasma lipid concentrations
and have
been shown to reverse atherosclerosis progression.
In clinical studies, the reported acceptability of vegetarian and
vegan diets is
comparable to other therapeutic regimens.
The presently available literature indicates that vegetarian and vegan
diets
present potential advantages for the management of type 2 diabetes.
