This is a report put together in 2009. A study was completed comparing what is today a diabetic diet and a paleolithic diet or what is termed as the caveman diet. This consists of mainly plant based whole foods. It was found that there were significantly lower values of hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, diastolic blood pressure, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference, while mean values for high-density lipoprotein were higher. The larger decrease of fasting plasma glucose following the Paleolithic diet nearly reached statistical significance, and systolic blood pressure also tended to decrease more following the Paleolithic diet.

This is confirmation of previous studies that such a diet is beneficial. The same report also suggests that the mechanisms of action of the paleolithic are not yet known.
