Hey Safari, I am so glad you are looking for the optimal, healthy, and natural way to combat T2D.
Diabetes can be prevented, and reversed via diet and nutrition.
Every honest health body agrees, reducing cholesterol, saturated and trans fats.
Then increasing fiber, and healthy plant foods, is the best way to reverse diabetes.

The fiber and phytonutrients in unrefined plant based foods actively help control glucose levels in our blood, they provide a stable insulin response, without pushing you into a fasted state.
You should also know that animal products are just as, if not more insulinogenic than refined sugars.
Glucose is our primary source of energy, all healthy plant foods like: yams, plantain, brown rice, bean/peas/legumes, lentils, quinoa, oats, barley, wholewheat pasta/cous cous, sweet potatoes, parsnips, cassava, leafy greens, veggies and fruits have most of their calories in the form of carbs. We should enjoy them without restriction, and stay away from cholesterol, trans and saturated fats.
We have a relationship with plant carbs, just like we have a relationship with gut bacteria, and mitochondria.
You can get your healthy oils from Avocados, nuts like walnuts, and seeds like flax, chia and pumkin.
These foods are great for you and in the right combos form almost any meal you can think off.
they provide: phytonutrients, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. this also helps control cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, feed good gut bacteria and prevent against cancer.
since they are high in water and fiber content, they will keep you feeling full for longer.

The links I have provided direct to a non profit website, with zero adverts. They also direct you to actual evidence based, non biased, non industry funded, peer reviewed science.
If you happen to find science that contradicts mine, we can have a discussion about how they achieved those results.
