Having a plant based diet doesn't prevent it cure diabetes because diabetes is about csrbs & sugars. I have been eating plant based for decades & I was diagnosed diabetic last year. I was educated on low carb diet ,(, I'm still plant based) but it's the pastries, flour, porridge, bread, pizza...

I am diabetic & sweet potato always raises my levels, I mean really raises them. Also oatmeal does too. It might be that with you, It's the same.
