A member asked:
Might eating spinach for a month get rid of type 2 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Diabetes is caused because of deficiency of insulin, or your body's "resistance" to insulin. Spinach intake will not treat the underlying problem and is not a "cure" for diabetes. Healthy eating is still important to "control" it though.
