Vegetarian and Vegan Dietary Patterns to Treat Adult Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT: Plant-based dietary patterns, including vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns, may help to manage type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by contributing to maintenance of a healthy body weight, improved glycemic control, and reduced risk of diabetes complications. Several diabetes clinical practice guidelines support the use of vegetarian dietary patterns, but there has not been a recently updated systematic review (SR) of evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to examine efficacy. The primary objective of this SR was to examine the effect of vegetarian dietary patterns compared with nonvegetarian dietary patterns in adults with T2DM. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL Database of Controlled Trials, Food Science Source, and SportsDiscus databases were searched for RCTs published from 1998 to May
