Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with a Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet

We report the case of a 41-year-old male with severe obesity, hypertension, and an 8-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus who achieved dramatic glycemic improvement following a 10-week low-fat, whole-food, plant based diet. Improvements in weight, blood pressure, and lipid values were noted as well.
