“Plant-based diets show very good effects on blood sugar, heart issues, and hypertension.”
Plant based diets, or vegan as such, are low in both fats and carbs, thus no real fuel is getting into your body. If you are also going to use exercise, which every diet I’ve ever seen includes, there will be no fuel for your muscles to utilize especially with the body’s use of lactic acid as your muscles get over obligated.
I had a doctor that went on one of these diets, and he normally ran a two and a half mile run for lunch every day. As the lack of immediate fuel started getting lower and lower with stored fats, he wasn’t able to continue with this diet as it slowly ceased his ability to employ this type of diet and still accomplish his exercise needs.
It’s one of the interesting problems with diabetes in it has so many puzzle pieces it also has so many ways to create problems to control it. And everyday is different for the body needs. Wish it was easier to come up with a formula that can match all the directions it can go. Thank you for the entry.

Have to disagree. There's plenty of fat in avocados, olives, nuts, and plenty of carbs in pasta, starch vegetables, rice, bread, grains, beans.
People have to be smart about going plant based. It's not simply stopping eating animal products. You have to get educated and be smart about it.
