A vegan diet may also benefit people with type 2 diabetes and declining kidney function. Indeed, vegans may have a lower chance of developing type 2 diabetes due to their tendency to have lower blood sugar levels and higher insulin sensitivity.

Increased consumption of healthy plant-based foods and decreased consumption of meat and dairy-based foods may lower your risk of type 2 diabetes even if you don't go fully vegan.
