What are the benefits of diet and exercise for people with type 2 diabetes? Type 2 diabetes is like they have to, along with their treatment, is an ongoing thing is diet and exercise. So when we say diet, you know, people are allowed to eat, you know, they can treat themselves. Like for example, uh, I would say to patients, like if like seven days a week, six days a week, they have been very good. Seventh day, if they want to treat themselves, they can treat themselves like chocolate or biscuit or ice cream or recane, but it's a, it's not a one day thing or a one month thing is a lifelong thing, exercise and controlling their diet, eating healthy food, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, rather than eating carbohydrates, which is starchy food. So they can eat it, but it's a portion control. So like we have a healthy plate in that plate is three quarter of the plate should be vegetables and salads. So one quarter is the carbohydrate and a little bit of dairy and, and, you know, the chicken fish or meat if they are they are allowed they are able to eat so it's just basically it's a lifelong thing along with the diabetes therapies treatment you have to continue with your diet and exercise.
