Yes. Diabetes is an equal opportunities condition sadly. There are many types of diabetes and many reasons for developing it.
Are you worried about yourself?
You are opening a can of tofu worms there. I have read that people who follow a plant based diet are less likely to develop type 2, but nobody is immune as diet is not the only reason for developing it.I am not a vegan but have prediabetes. Just watched a video on Utube that says a vegan diet can reverse diabetes. So, by definition thought that vegans do not become diabetics. According to this Dr. The reason why the cells of diabetics have resistance to insulin is because they are filled with saturated fat! So meat and dairy are out!
Forgot to say I am not a vegan!
I have seen videos like this also, it is always good to review all opinions. I don't accept that eating bread, pasta, grains, oranges, bananas and the like will reverse Type 2, unless you are exercising like Andy Murray. I watched a YouTube video where a well respected Vegan stated that on his program of Veganism he would reduce carbs, I can agree with this methodology.I am not a vegan but have prediabetes.

I think statistics tells that vegans get less diabetes type 2 than rest of the population, but this might be due to vegans usually being very aware of health more than average meat eaters in general are
Quite an interesting point of view.. but interestingly there are quite a few ex-vegans who are now zero carb eaters (i.e. no plant food whatsoever) most of them that I have come across on various fora say that going zero carb has helped heal the health problems that their veganism caused. I have no personal experience of this but is something I have read about quite a few times.
These people you don't know but have read about, I suspect may be dietary vegans and not ethical vegans. They are quite different. I don't personally know any no-plant eaters or dietary vegans, but know lots of ethical ones and you will be happy to learn we are all healthy and happy.Quite an interesting point of view.. but interestingly there are quite a few ex-vegans who are now zero carb eaters (i.e. no plant food whatsoever) most of them that I have come across on various fora say that going zero carb has helped heal the health problems that their veganism caused.

Plenty of B12 deficient people on this forum but very few vegans which suggests that deficiency is not exclusive to plant eaters. You can eat herbivorous animals to get this soil bacteria or you can take a tablet. It's no big deal.I personally don´think humans are meant to be vegans.. and that long term problems due to veganism like lack of vitamin B 12 and also lack of the EPA DHA that are contained in fish oil and maybe also in milk from mother that these long term problems can in fact be ireversible, my own daughter is vegetarian and only eat eggs of animal foods , I have told her to take suplements of krill-oil and also vitamin B 12 regularily ... but of cause she gets the vitamin B 12 from the eggs...
