Abstract

Type-2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. T2D may lead to health complications such as retinal damage, chronic kidney disease, peripheral neuropathy, systemic hypertension, and coronary heart disease. In the present case report, we observed remission of T2D in a newly diagnosed aged patient after initiation of a whole food plant-based diet. The patient was able to achieve normal blood glucose readings without any pharmacological treatment. HbA1c lowered from 13.30% to 6.20% after 12 weeks of nutritional intervention.
