Low carb or high carb? Low fat or high fat? Answers to these fundamental questions may be derived by understanding the root cause of diabetes in the first place.

Jane Esselstyn's 6-min video is an excellent starting point to grasp the big picture of diabetes, and how Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines help us.

Dr Nick Delgado consumes ½ cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) - the amount recommended in an AHA (American Heart Association) recipe, followed by a sandwich sometime later. He tracks his own blood sugar numbers and lipid profile for several hours to demonstrate how triglycerides rise, RBCs start clumping and blood glucose levels rise.

Dr Neal Barnard explains that the root cause of diabetes is not the sugars we consume; it's the fats that have accumulated inside our cells. That's why a Low Fat diet is important.

Dr Greger's articles and videos explain lipotoxicity, intramyocellular lipids & the cellular mechanisms underlying diabetes.

Dr Peter Rogers' lectures are fast-paced, information rich and compact.

For a deep understanding of the IML Theory (Intra-Myacellular Lipid Theory) for diabetes, we may watch Dr Gerald Shulman's Banting Lecture.
