Vegan Diet Vs Lantus Solo Star to improve blood sugar. March 5, 2018

In overweight adults with no history of diabetes, a low-fat, plant-based vegan diet can reduce visceral fat and significantly improve both pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin resistance, potentially decreasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to researchers.

 Vegan Diet  Improves Type 2 Diabetes Markers in Adults by Kristin Jenkins

How pancreatic beta-cell function was tested? This is first question studies must to answer, how they find out that beta-cells function improved?  As long as I do remember, and I am long time diabetic type 2, my beta-cells function never was tested. I even have no one idea what test it suppose to be. Now without any prove it presented that diet improved these cells function. How they found it?
      If they found that function of beta-cells improved then it suppose to be somehow marked, when function is normal, and whot does it looks like to be abnormal, right? There are suppose to be some range in beta-cell function, difference between healthy function and diabetics type 2 beta cells function. There is no such marks. I looked at all blood tests, no one test show this function.

The 16-week randomized controlled trial in 73 adults showed that participants who ate a diet of vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruits significantly improved their overall metabolic condition, say Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, DC, and colleagues.

LOL!!!! If someone will pay me then I will say all what they want, including that I ate vegan diet.  I hate vegan. I love fish and meat, and apples. Seriously, what is prove that participants ate what they say they ate? They are not in hospital. They are home. With the same prove one can say that starvation diet prevented diabetes type 2. There would be participants who will use starvation diet, Just do not place then in cage, and then they can stay on starvation diet weeks, month, even years, if they would be paid for participation.
    Also pay attention that participants are not diabetics. The question is, why they do have impaired beta cells function? But if they do have healthy beta cells then how this healthy beta cells function can be improved?
I love to read comments. There are some of them:

Agreed. My Polish grandmother on my mother's side lived to 96. Polish Grandfather, to 84. Both ate eggs cooked in bacon grease/lard with a large piece of hard rye bread every morning. Lunch was small, usually leftovers from the previous nights meal, which contained greens, well-cooked meats, and starches in generally equal proportions. Grandfather drank alcohol/beer excessively. Home baked, high sugar/carb desserts were always available as was chocolate. Grandfather died of stroke, grandmother of pneumonia.

 I can say, my mother also lived to 80 years. Practically I do not remember if she ever was seriously ill. She ate all what was able to get. She poisoned herself with unhealthy food and a few times I had to care for her to clean up her stomach. I forced her to drink full basket of water. I was little at that time, I scared she would die. She obeyed. She was overweight.
In contrary my father was lean, as everyone in his family. He pass away at age 37. He was diabetic. I do not know what he ate. I do not think it is too important.
Now I am 66 years old. I am diabetic type 2. I do not relay on any diet. I take insulin, lantus solo star. Right now it is 610 units daily dose.

You make a valid point because insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes being largely promoted by excessive calorie intake and weight gain. However, there is data showing that saturated fatty acids not only raise LDL-cholesterol levels but also increase inflammation and promote some insulin resistance that is independent of change in body fat stores.

 We all do know, some people eat all what they want, never get weight gain. Other people have no such luck. But regardless of pounds, all people have rights to right medicine, right diagnose, and respect. There is no one prove that diabetes type 2 caused by obesity. With millions not diagnosed diabetics at the time when they finally would be diagnosed with diabetes they already would collect pounds, not vise versa.
     With 100 year insulin available on market, diabetics type 2 still treated with all types of Junk Medicine and abuse that diet can improve beta cells function. Still, there is no one test, if there are still beta cells available to secret insulin? This test never run for diabetics type 2.
      Over 80, 000 Americans die every year due to diabetes, high blood sugar level or low blood sugar level, resulted by mistreatment. How many diabetics type 2 die every year there is no collected data. Why? The result is too devastated. If take this study then diabetes will be number one Killer. Why? Why today Millions of potentially fatally ill people treated with diet, and in spite of all devastated results, life style modifications number one doctor choice to treat diabetes type 2. Just start to treat diabetes type 2 with Lantus Solo Star, and see results. Untimely Death no longer would be knocking in our doors.
