In patients with T2DM, does a plant-based diet offer a greater improvement in glycemic control compared to non-plant-based diets, as shown by a reduction in hemoglobin A1C?

Some studies showed improvement in glycemic control by measuring decrease in HbA1c, while others were inconclusive. The absolute change in HbA1c in the interventional group showed 0.84 decrease compared to 0.31 decrease in the control group. Although both groups showed reductions in HbA1c levels, the plant-based diets showed greater reduction than non-plantbased diets. This literature review consists of data from recent journals which aims to understand the cultural and social factors that may have led to obesity in Latino children. Cultural factors include breastfeeding practices and social factors include the influence of welfare programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Food Package
