Although the complete reversal of diabetes type 2 through diet alone is still open for debate, it is widely that accepted that adhering to a diabetes diet plays an important part in managing the disease.

Diabetes develops earlier in Indians in comparison to the Western population. This could have something to do with factors in their lifestyle that increase the risk for this condition. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is mostly seen in children (juvenile diabetes) while type 2 usually develops in adults.
