The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has teamed up with the AADE
Foundation to provide funds for a unique scholarship. PCRM offers public and professional education
materials, most at no or very low cost, on the use of a low-fat, plant-based nutrition approach for
diabetes self-management. This scholarship is designed to recognize an educator who demonstrates
knowledge of plant-based (vegan) nutrition, and its beneficial role in treating type 2 diabetes,
and who has shared this information with people with diabetes under his/her care, resulting in
nutritional behavior change and improvements in clinical markers.
