Myths related to diabetes

A low-fat vegetarian diet can not only control diabetes but also reduce the risk of heart attack for the patient. This was found in research. In the study, researchers recommended consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans. Researchers suggest that these low-fat vegetarian diets may reduce the need for insulin in type 1 diabetics.
The study also found that a plant-based diet led to changes in body weight, with the biggest benefit being in reducing insulin resistance. In addition, improvement in glycemic control or blood glucose levels was also observed in the patient. This had a direct effect on their heart as diabetics are also at risk of heart disease.
Type 1 diabetes is more troublesome
The research findings were published in the Clinical Diabetes Journal. Hanna Kalauba, director of clinical research for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in the US, said that type 2 diabetes is more common, but type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the body’s immune system attacks the healthy pancreas. This affects the ability to make insulin and control blood sugar. Therefore patients may need regular insulin injections.
Less insulin will be needed
According to Hana Haliova, the price of insulin remains a concern for many people. Our research shows that a low-fat vegetarian diet that does not restrict carbohydrates may be a prescription for reducing insulin needs, managing blood sugar levels, and improving heart health in people with type 1 diabetes.
