A 69-year-old American man with diabetes lost 68 lbs and dropped his insulin requirements by more than 50 per cent after adopting a whole-foods and plant-based diet, according to a new case report published in the British Medical Journal. TORONTO -- A 69-year-old American man with diabetes lost 68 lb. and dropped his insulin requirements by more than 50 per cent after adopting a whole-foods and plant-based diet.
“He was on 12 different medications and had experienced troublesome side effects, particularly weight gain,” the case report reads. “His ‘tipping point’ was his recent diagnosis of hyperphosphataemia … and a conversation with his nephrologist in which he was told that he might progress to the need for dialysis in as soon as years.”
Within the first two months, he stopped taking four medications after his blood pressure and glucose improved. His insulin “steadily titrated downward.” The dosages for several medications were cut by as much as half within a few months, and he saw his creatinine levels normalize for the first time in at least eight years.
The man and his spouse followed the provided food guide strictly, with the exception of a weekly restaurant dinner, and after 11 months there was “persistent benefit” reported, the report said.
More and more doctors are recommending plant based diets for a number of health issues. Meat eaters, who are already have plant based foods in their diets, are so resistant & defensive about this. Why? GoVegan
CTV needs to rework their branding
Sadly not an option for those who can’t afford fresh produce. Eating well isn’t cheap.
Man eats well and feels well? I don’t see the connection.
Guess what - Keto diet achieves the same results! Healthy fats, protein, veggies, low-sugar fruits, seeds, nuts, meat. A well balanced diet that takes sugar and carbohydrates out will do wonders for the body. Flip the food chart. Sugar is the real enemy to our health!!!
Boy the low fat/ veg/ vegan diet camps are in a real tizzy as their cash cow is under threat from Keto. 🤣🤣🤣🖕
Now add red meat and that man will live to be a hundred!!
That's right medicine doesn't really work in some cases
fakenews at their best. Weight loss is achieved by a better diet with reduced calories. Exercise helps as well. The type of diet one has does not matter, calories do. How does it feel to walk in the footsteps of fakenews ?
Most people with type 2 diabetes cut their insulin by losing weight. Often times diet alone can manage it. This isn't news.
Ctv is the new 22 minutes
More slanted and irresponsible news from CTV. Article suggests a meat diet would nit do the same thing. Dropping 68 lbs through proper diet and excercise is going to help in either case. Global agenda of meat haters.
This is what the doctor tells you to do 😐 is this surprising to ppl
And now is Iron deficient.
Men with meat in their diets, do the same thing.
You don’t say. Really? Who knew that by exercising, and eating properly you can lose weight and control blood sugar. This is just breaking news.
