Our
information is currently being update.
If you are looking for information
regarding vegetarianism and diabeties, there is an article in the Winter 1999
issue of Vegetarian Dietetics, "Can Type 2 Diabetes Be Managed Effectively
with a Vegetarian Diet," which states, "Consumption of a low fat, plant-based
diet, coupled with regular exercise, can possibly reduce the risk of developing
type 2 diabetes. A plant-based diet, rich in legumes and slowly digested grains,
may improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and facilitate the successful
management of type 2 diabetes."
