People with diabetes are being advised to go vegetarian as experts have claimed that there is a high percentage of the disease being reversed.

The doctors claim that if a person eats plant-based foods, the blood sugar level will definitely improve and that it will potentially leave the patients free from the said disease. A vegetarian diet has been proven to have significant benefits in treating Type 2 diabetes as well as insulin sensitivity.

The decrease in key blood protein has also been observed and according to the experts, people with the disease needs to know this important fact as the higher the substance in the patient's body, the greater the risk of developing other complications related to the disease.

The study author Doctor Neal Barnard from George Washington University School of Medicine in the United States noted that no drug has ever been made to offer a solution to the disease and continued saying, "One simple prescription could help reverse diabetes, improve blood sugar, and lower weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. And all this is possible, our analysis found, not with a new magic pill, but with tried-and-true simple changes to diet."

The authors added that vegetarians and vegans have better benefits related to cardiovascular health, hypertension, plasma lipids and body weight. They also have an edge in nutritional advantages when compared with meat-eating people.

These people undergoing such diet also have lower calories, which eventually leads to weight loss, as well as higher fiber, which slows the rate of glucose being absorbed in the bloodstream.

Also, the patients who will undergo the said diet will not have to exercise as much as they used to and can eat as much as they want but pressed they should not eat animal products or lots of added oils.

The researchers pressed, "The evidence does not suggest that everyone should adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet but there are benefits of increasing your intake of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and pulses and eating less saturated fat. We continue to encourage people to maintain a healthy weight through balanced eating and physical activity."

Diabetes has been the leading cause of blindness to patients as well as lower limb amputation, stroke and even kidney failure. In Britain, there are over three million people with diabetes while additional 850,000 people are unaware that they have Type 2 diabetes.
