Just read Dr. Neal Barnard's Cookbook for Reversing Diabetes.
Excellent! Wonderful recipes, easy to make, filling and delicious.
Spoiler Alert. The recipes are vegan. And low-fat. Sound awful? They are not. They are really yummy. And I'm dropping some weight, too And my food bill has gone way down. A 59 cent 16 oz. pound of beans versus $5.98 16 oz. pound of beef.
Once you wrap your mind around eating this way, it's truly fine. At least of me, it has been. And for my husband, too.
I found out here's a lot of protein and fiber in non-animal sources. Such as beans. That's why the recipes are filling and satisfying.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. But I do love this book.
I'm glad to hear about this book and just reserved it at my library! We eat a modified vegan diet (for lack of a better way to put it) and use recipes from Eat to Live, especially the Quick and Easy version (which we bought on ebay for just a few dollars digitally). It is nutrient-dense, calorie-low eating, so you feel very full after meals, which is a nice change to how we used to try to lose weight. Anyway, if you deal with chronic pain, give this a try for a couple of weeks and see if it helps. I tried PT, massage, stretching, exercise and supplements for chronic shoulder/neck pain and when I started eating this new way to support my husband, 2 wks later I noticed that pain had gone. It is apparently a very anti-inflammatory way to eat. Well worth it to wake up pain free every day, and I weigh less than I have in 15 yrs now!
I don't know too much about diabetes, but isn't there differences between the two types
I have read of those with type 2 reversing it with a plant based diet and exercise. They were morbidly obese and sedentary before. I had a friend who was overweight and found out she was pre-diabetic and after losing 80lbs she no longer is at high risk.
But people like my grandpa and cousin have had it since childhood. They have type 1 and the manage it, but will always have it.
That's how I always thought it worked, but could be very wrong.

That's a wonderful testimonial! Glad this way of eating was effective for you. I find much the same..my knee/hip aches are a lot less when eating a low-fat, high beans and greens and whole carb diet. Anti-inflammatory all the way seems to help so much.

I've had a plant-based diet all my life, am fit, exercise daily, weigh 110 pounds, and I'm type 2. But I'm weird, apparently, and there is no reversing diabetes for me.
There are a few type 1's in my family, and yes they have had it from childhood, and have to take insulin to control their sugar.
I don't know too much about diabetes, but isn't there differences between the two types.
Yes. Type 2 is caused a metabolic derangement where the body's cells become increasingly resistant to the effects of insulin, so glucose has a hard time moving out of the blood and into the cells. It's got a very strong correlation to obesity (but obesity by itself isn't enough to cause type 2; the person also has to have a genetic predisposition as well, which unfortunately many people do have).
Type 1 is the result of an autoimmune disorder, where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.
So type 2 may be controllable by making changes in lifestyle (diet and exercise) that decrease insulin resistance, but type 1 is not. No diet changes or exercise will help dead pancreas cells grow back, so type 1 diabetics always need insulin.
I got news for you Oh-zone: you know how peroxide bubbles up as you pour it?--That's the extra, weakly bound O coming off the H2O2. What's left in the bowl is nothing but good ol' H20....You may or may not be able to absorb O2 thru your feet, but you ain't got any left to absorb after you've poured that foot bath....You may as well just lay on your back and wave your naked feet around in the air for awhile.
MY H2O2 does not bubble up. The effects of spraying it on the skin are immediate that can be verified visually. If all the Oxygen left when pouring it out it would not be a good product would it?
What on earth do you think happens when you soak feet in hydrogen peroxide? Please explain in detail, give me the science.
Otherwise, I repeat, this is a troll post.
