The Relationship and Prevention Strategy of Plant-based Diet on Type 2 Diabetes Caused by Obesity

With the continuous improvement of living standards and changes in diet and other lifestyles, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) caused by obesity are on the rise, and they are gradually getting younger. Plant-based diet (PBD) is considered to have a positive effect on the prevention and control of T2DM because it reduces animal fat and unsaturated fatty acids and increases the intake of dietary fiber. By studying the concept of PBD and the mechanism of T2DM caused by obesity, this paper analyzed the relationship between PBD pattern and T2DM mellitus in depth. So as to explore whether a healthy vegetarian model can help reduce blood sugar, increase cellular resistance to insulin, reduce cellular oxidative stress response, and thereby reduce the risk of diabetes and related complications. Studies have shown that an overall PBD significantly increases the risk of T2DM. Future research should promote high-quality PBDs through society, deeply explore the preventive effect in different groups of people, as well as the compliance of the masses, formulate personalized prevention strategies, promote the popularization of health models, and reduce the incidence of T2DM.
