It may sound like a broken record, but experts have always advised that a combination of lifestyle changes and good diet can prevent or at least delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Well in fact, even those that already have type 2 diabetes are advised of lifestyle and dietary changes, for their own good in order to manage their condition.
Researchers from Cochrane however, reported that there is no indication yet whether dietary advice alone can prevent type 2 diabetes.
Of course diet alone is not going to put type 2 diabetes on a tight least! Who are these scientists kidding?!

Well in fact, even those that already have type 2 diabetes are advised of lifestyle and dietary changes, for their own good in order to manage their condition.
Researchers from Cochrane however, reported that there is no indication yet whether dietary advice alone can prevent type 2 diabetes.
When a team of Cochrane Researchers set out to see if dietary advice alone could help a person with type 2 diabetes, they were only able to identify two trials that together involved just 358 people.
The two studies did, however, indicate that dietary advice alone could play an important role. One study randomly assigned people to either a control group or a dietary advice group. After six years 67.7% of people in the control group had diabetes, compared with only 43.8% in the advice group. This was a 33% reduction.
In another study 12 months of dietary advice led to significant reductions in many diabetes related factors, such as insulin resistance, fasting C-peptide, fasting proinsulin, fasting blood glucose, fasting triglycerides, and fasting cholesterol and PAI-1.

A good diet cannot be stressed enough. Check out my webpage. Very low sugar, very high nutrients
