Reddit reviews Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs

It's a hard battle but you can try by saying you care and hence you gave this book to them Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs

> "takeaway meals", "bought sweets"

This has nothing to do with carbs. You're eating shitty processed food.

> carbs like french fries

You mean food literally engulfed and soaked with fat?

> I know that being a raw fruitarian for a while brought havoc to my system and I became borderline anorexic and hypoglycemic (possibly due to under-eating).

If you get hypoglycemic on a diet consisting mostly of sugar you're SEVERELY undereating and it has nothing to do with the macros or type of food you're eating. You're going from starving yourself to binging on fat. How about actually eat enough calories from fruits/vegetables/grains/beans/nuts/seeds without needlessly trying to complicate things for yourself?

You can find these books online for free if you don't have the money as well. They have some clinical data and information which will help you understand what's healthy. You don't have to read all of it, but I highly suggest looking in that direction.

the cause of diabetes has been confused. once you know the cause you know the cure. but yes its such a big money maker they will try to hide this.

peace be with you

edit - intra cellular fat blocks sugar getting to the cells.. so you get blood sugar spikes and low energy. get rid of the fat and the sugar can be absorbed. diabetes mellitus literally means sugar (honey) passes through. because urine is very sugary. so they blame the sugar but the real problem is fat.

You should checkout Dr Neil Barnard remarch on diabetes. He recommand a plant based diet for all his diabetic patient. He has a great book about controlling type 1 and reversing type 2 diabetes.

Program for Reversing Diabetes

If you are worried, get one of these blood sugar testers. They are pretty cheap - the companies make money off the diabetics from overly expensive strips (think: razor blades or ink-jet printer business model).

Insulin sensitivity is the cells ability to react to insulin. Insulin reaches the cell and the cell reacts by letting glucose enter the cell. When this is inhibited (by fat in the cell), the cell becomes insulin-resistant. So the glucose stays in your blood because it can't get into the cells. Your pancreas releases more and more insulin to make cells react. As this progresses, you go from normal to pre-diabetic to diabetic. Your morning insulin level keeps rising above 100 mg/dl (pre-diabetic) and then above 120 (diabetic) and your blood sugar goes very high after a high-carb meal (1h and 2h after the meal are usually tested).

There's a video by Barnard that I linked to who has a vegan diet to restore insulin sensitivity. He has a book on the subject.

I'm trying to find a copy of this one in particular. I saw that they have information sheets in spanish on their website, but I have not been able to find a copy of the book in spanish.

In addition to Joel Fuhrman's End of Diabetes, Neal Barnard also has a good book too.

The Vegetarian Resource Group also has a sample menu for diabetes sufferers:

You need to know far more than a few words. DR Barnard spells it out in his book. Want a quick peek at an understanding put dr neil barnard into a search on youtube.
Want to get serious about curing type 2 diabetes...buy the book and read it at least 3x. Then do what he recommends.

Of course I'm not a doctor - so no one should take my advice - OP should talk to his doctor. But there is media out there.

I've been going approximately vegan for about a month now, on the advice of my doctor who referred me to this book. My cholesterol levels, family history, and fatty liver all suggest I was (and maybe still am) on track for diabetes down the road. I'm curious to see my blood panel in a few months.

When I say "approximately" I mean meat and dairy have been relegated to special occasions, so call it 95% vegan. Whatever, still an improvement over meat twice a day.

Anyway, it's been easier than I thought it would be. It takes some getting used to but not a ton of effort. I like meat and cheese but I don't find myself missing it. I do use a multivitamin (primarily for B12), and protein supplement since I work out 4-6 days a week.

Point is, if the ethical arguments didn't sway me, the health benefits (or more accurately, the tangible threat to my personal health) did. Maybe that makes me selfish, I dunno. Probably.

TL;DR: I'm trying to do the right thing, for the wrong reasons. It's easier than you might think, though sometimes I cheat. You can do it too.

I do everyday of my life. Excess fat and oil consumption causes diabetes, NOT excess sugars/starches as conventional wisdom states. Check out this book if you'd like to know more. https://www.amazon.com/Neal-Barnards-Program-Reversing-Diabetes/dp/1594868107

A low fat, high carb diet can reverse diabetes.
