There is no accounting for what anyone thinks. But in the realm of evidence, I am familiar with truckoads of evidence where even within 10 days on a serious #WFPB diet people lower their A1C by 20% and in a vast number of cases go on to completely reverse diabetes in 3 weeks to 3 months.

It's endemic here in NZ. Worse than elsewhere. Supposedly the bad diets of the working classes, mostly Polynesians and Maori. I have a hunch that it's a toxin in the environment so I'm taking aim at the mostly likely source of those toxins. It's just a hunch though.

always follow your hunches and figure them out to the point you can validate them or reject them. However, do some 10-day jumpstarts as well. https://plantpurecommunities.org/oasis-jumpstart-program/ The typical experience is about a 20%-ish improvement in A1C even within the 10-day period and commensurate improvements in cholesterol levels, weight loss, blood pressure, lipid panels. It's a canned program that is available through the not for profit plant pure communities, so your only problem is having a local clinic to work with, and a provider for the meals for the 10-day program. The format is to take the vitals before and after, teach them to make their own breakfast and healthy snacks, and then to provide lunch and dinner from outside, and depending on the configuration those ban be frozen meals that they can heat up at home. The point is making sure they are on the diet for the full 10 days, and then you do the vitals again afterwards.
