Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
i read this book by dr bernard it says that the way to reverse is not to eat any animal fat and may be go vegan with the diet .
apparently he has done some experiments ,has anyone heard of this or feels that by going veg one can lower sugar and may reverse the diet .
i for one cannot live without meat , my understanding was and is that as long as one has no sugar products you will be fine .
am i wrong

I will give you one bit of advice here and I hope that you will think about it and follow it. I have done it and am still working on it.
As Adrianne said once a diabetic always a diabetic and anyone who sells you a book, scheme, diet regime promising otherwise is just fleecing you of your money.
OK my advice.......... Eat a normal low carb - low GI diet - small portions - and test, test, test to find what will and won't raise your levels.
You need a balanced diet and the advice I was given to eat double the amount of protein as you are carbs. Others say more carbs than protein.
I prefer to do 50/50 and that seems to work for me.
But you need to work out what works for YOU as we are all different and our bodies react differently to things.
The only way to know what will work for you is trial and error.
Test/eat, test/eat, test/eat, test.
This is not a sprint - it is a marathon and you can take time to sort things out.
I know my body and I would not work on a vegan diet, I would think very carefully about going in that direction as it is pretty extreme.
as they say, eat healthy, eat a balance diet, basically do not have a lot of red meat and of course watch portion controls
It is not a matter of not eating sugar products, since all food contains carbs....so you can have sugar, just do the carbs since the simple sugars are included in the carbs
