This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a whole-food plant-based diet—one that removes all meat, dairy, eggs, and added oils—can improve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. Half of participants will follow this new dietary approach, while the other half will continue with standard medications like gabapentin or duloxetine. The study will last two months and then give everyone a chance to try the diet if they wish.
Diabetic nerve pain is often difficult to treat and medications don't work equally well for everyone. Some early research suggests that diet alone may help reduce this pain, so researchers want to test this idea in a proper clinical trial to see if it could offer people another option.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for two months: either following a plant-based diet (with optional cooking classes to help you learn) or continuing with standard pain medications managed by your doctor. After two months, if you were in the medication group, you'll have the option to switch to the diet approach. Throughout the study, you'll visit the clinic for check-ins and answer questions about your pain levels and how you're doing.
