"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation"
"Switching to a low-fat vegan diet can cut daily insulin use by nearly 30 per cent for people with type 1 diabetes, a new study has found. Insulin is a hormone that moves glucose, a type of sugar, from the bloodstream into muscle and liver cells, where it is used for energy. People with type 1 diabetes must inject insulin because their bodies do not produce enough of it."
An independent news outlet reports on developments across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, funds reporting through donations, and provides paywall-free journalism to reach readers across the political spectrum. Donations allow continued on-the-ground reporting, investigations, and documentary production, and support speaking to both sides of stories. A clinical comparison found that switching to a low-fat vegan diet reduced daily insulin requirements for people with type 1 diabetes by 28 percent (about 12.1 units per day), while a portion-controlled diet produced no meaningful change. The reduction likely reflects improved insulin sensitivity, per the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and publication in BMC Nutrition.
