Diet and Diabetes

About 29 million people in America suffer from diabetes. Also 51% of people of age 65 and above have  pre-diabetes.
37% of adults over age 20 have pre-diabetes.
People who consume more meat are likely to be more prone to diabetes. On the other hand, a plant based diet (early human diet ) improves blood sugar, body weight, blood pressure and cholesterol, all at the same time.
Plant based foods are typically low in fat, high in fibre and complex carbohydrates. Low fat foods also help  to reduce intercellular lipid accummulation.
