Abstract
The consumption of whole-grain and legumes has been linked with increased glycemic control in diabetic and insulin resistant persons. According to Jenkins et al., (2003), plant-based diets have proven to have some benefits in the management of type 2 diabetes. Many long-term cohort studies have indicated that the intake of whole-grain lessens the threat of evolving type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. According to Lee McKay & Ardern (2015), even though patients with type 2 diabetes were conscious of the value of a plant-based diet, they did not implement it due to lack of health care providers failing to advocate it. Patients showed a high willingness to adopt a plant-based diet educational interventions were necessary to apply it. According to Trapp & Levin (2012), is that a plant-based diet has less fat, calories, saturated fats and cholesterol compared to nonvegetarians. The American diabetes association has therefore recommended it for the cure and avoidance of type 2 diabetes.
Key words: plant-based diet, type 2 diabetes, prevention, management

According to Jenkins et al., (2003), a plant-based diet has proven to have some benefits in the management of type 2 diabetes.

The consumption of whole-grain and legumes has been linked with increased glycemic control in diabetic and insulin resistant persons. According to Jenkins et al., (2003), many long-term cohort studies have indicated that the intake of whole-grain lessens the threat of developing type 2 diabetes and heart diseases.
This source will help in supporting my hypothesis that tries to investigate whether a plant-based diet can prevent and reverse diabetes. The source is essential since it will provide significant insights into the hypothesis due to its evidence-based information.

Lee McKay & Ardern (2015), conducted a study to determine awareness and perception of a plant-based diet for the management and control of type 2 diabetes in a certain community in Canada. The results of the study indicated that only 9% of the of the respondents who were suffering from diabetes followed a plant-based diet. 66% of the respondents were prepared to consume a plant-based diet for three weeks. On the other hand, 72% of health care workers understood the importance of a plant-based diet for the management of diabetes, nonetheless little levels of practice were discovered. They concluded that since patients showed a high willingness to adopt a plant-based diet educational interventions were necessary.
This source is important in supporting the hypothesis. It will provide quality and extensive information regarding awareness and view of plant-based diets in the cure and controlling of type 2 diabetes.

According to McMacken & Shah (2017), is that plant-based diets which include the consumption of whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts without the intake of animal products decrease the danger of increasing type 2 diabetes. Observational and interventional research have shown that plant-based diets play a great role in treating type 2 diabetes. A plant-based diet also reduces major diabetes linked macrovascular and microvascular problems.
This source will also help in supporting the hypothesis that whole foods plant-based diet can prevent and reverse diabetes. It will provide data and reliable information that supports the usage of plant-based diet in dealing with type 2 diabetes

Plant-based diets have been welcomed in the recent days since it was supported by the US Department of agriculture 2010 Dietary guidelines. It has broadly studied the effect of plant-based foods for weight control and the inhibition of disease and treatment. According to Trapp & Levin (2012), is that a plant-based diet has less fat, calories, saturated fats and cholesterol compared to nonvegetarians. The American diabetes association now recommends a plant-based nourishment in the deterrence and cure of diabetes.
This source has a lot of information that will help in providing supporting data and information to be used in addressing the hypothesis.
