Hi Natala,
While neither Jane nor I actually have diabetes, it is in Jane’s gene pool, so it’s one of the diseases she keeps her eye on (along with breast and colon cancer, and heart disease, and stroke). It’s so encouraging to hear stories like yours. Thanks for chiming in.
I love your husbands quote!

Hi Evelyn,
Jane remarks that sometimes it feels like dietary guidelines change as often as fashion.
This diet makes a lot of sense to us.

So we are back to a low-fat diet but this time with vegetables? That’s great. Anything that will contain the rise of diabetes statistics is good news. And this is backed not only by the magazine Diabetes Health but also by the American Association of Diabetes Educators.

Wow, that is awesome! I actually can attest to the vegan lifestyle and diabetes. I was diagnosed almost 5 years ago and had been on insulin every day – long and short acting. I tried EVERY THING and was told over and over by doctors “low carb, high protein”. I was told not to eat things like fruit, oatmeal, grains. I picked up this book called the 30 day diabetes miracle which very thoroughly explains how and why going vegan helps diabetes. I was skeptical, but jumped in the deep end – and with in a few weeks I was completely off of insulin. My sugar for the first time in 5 years is staying in control, and I really feel amazing. And it was not hard at all to switch. And … I can eat fruit and oatmeal Anyway, I wanted to share with you. And anyone else who is suffering from diabetes and or obesity. As my husband put it “After all we’ve been through with diabetes, going vegan has been a piece of cake”
