The American Diabetes Association has re-affirmed the value of properly-planned vegetarian / vegan diets for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.

The ADA gave the paleo diet the lowest score.

Strangely, the American Diabetes Association has not re-affirmed that properly-planned vegetarian / vegan diets reduce blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease. This is very strange, because the American Heart Association states that veg diets DO reduce hypertension and CVD risk: Vegan diet may decrease heart disease, stroke risk in African Americans and Vegetarian and Mediterranean diet may be equally effective in preventing heart disease . I have notified the American Diabetes Association of their apparent error.
