Low-fat vegan diet found to lower insulin needs in Type 1 diabetics, lower risk of heart disease

Jaipur, April 02, 2024. A low-fat vegan diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains and beans can help reduce insulin needs in people affected by Type 1 diabetes, a new research has found. It also found that changes in body weight, brought about by the plant-based diet, helped lower participants’ resistance to insulin by improving sensitivity. Glycemic control, or glucose levels in the blood serum, was also observed to get better. The improvements were, in turn, found to correspond to lowering the risk of heart disease in these patients. While Type 2 diabetes is more common, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the healthy pancreas, affecting its ability to produce insulin and regulate blood sugar.
