The evidence for treating and reversing type 2 with a plant based diet is staggering. Whether you want to treat it with plants or some other diet (the evidence is strong with both vegan and omnivorous diets, the emphasis seems to be food diversity, whole foods, and perhaps some modicum of calorie restriction) is fine. It can be done. Though, in defence of those suffering, the psychological component of developing and acquiring full fledged type 2 diabetes due to poor diet is no small feat to contend with. It can be done, but it takes a lot of confidence in advice given, support from those around you, and the sense that there’s real purpose and value in following through on such a large lifestyle change. At the moment it seems society is severely deficient in these pieces of the recovery puzzle.
