While this is very relevant, most people don’t understand that healthy foods with diversity means fibre dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes & beans etc; less sugar laden foods means avoid refined & ultra processed foods; less saturated fats means avoid or reduce animal foods and palm oil etc.
Eating a whole food plant-forward or plant - predominant diet high in fibre, high on phytonutrients and low in fat and unnecessary calories can help in prevention of diabetes even if you are genetically pre-disposed.
There is enough and more evidence of putting type 2 diabetes into remission using lifestyle modifications.

As a nutritionist & holistic health coach, I have worked with clients who have been able to not become diabetic from their pre-diabetes stage; who have put their diabetes in remission before they could get on medications and who have been able to reduce their medications under a doctor’s guidance as their blood glucose levels were coming down.
