Insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetics cut their daily insulin requirement by consuming a low-fat vegan diet.  This the finding of a new study from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine published in the journal BMC Nutrition.   

The study analyzed data from 58 type 1 diabetics randomly assigned to consume either a vegan or a portion-controlled diet. Those on the vegan diet required 28% less insulin than usual while the control group experienced no benefit. The vegan diet cut the insulin need by 12 units per day with a 27% savings. 

Those on vegan diet experienced other benefits. They lost 11 pounds on average over the 3 months and clocked cholesterol as well as kidney functional improvements.  They researchers speculate that these benefits are due to improved insulin sensitivity.
