# I have diabetes or I am insulin resistant?

Absolutely. A plant-based diet has been shown to significantly improve control over blood sugar levels and the body's sensitivity to insulin. The high content of fibre and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances in a plant-based diet makes it ideal for managing diabetes and preventing long-term complications. Let your doctor know if you are switching to a plant-based diet because you may need to adjust your medication to avoid the risk of hypoglycaemia.
