Treating Diabetes with a Vegan Diet

Submitted by John CrowleyCommunity Manager — August 13, 2008 at 10:12 am

I honestly am not a vegan or a vegetarian. (In fact, I love grilled chicken. I could eat it every day.) I just keep coming across these videos and I think it is an extreme approach, but seems to be working for some people.

There are many pros and cons to being a vegetarian.

Being one for exactly 30 years has helped me but as far as it helping me with my diabetes, I disagree with the impact of being a vegetarian's effect on diabetes.

Smart choices and common sense are more effective measures.

I became a Vegetarian 3 years ago. I have lost 53#. Will lose 30 more and be back to my real weight. Lot's of my health problem have been helped both of weight loss and my new way of eating.

I would like to know if any of you have a vegetarian diet that is actually keeping your blood sugar under control if you do could you share what you are using or where you got it.

Got a girlfriend, that's a diabetic,

working w/diet issues, and religious

issues. By religion, she was expected

to be a basic veggaterian, but they

even allowed her to have meats for

the health issue, chichen an fish

were the basic ones that she uses.

There are different nutrients that

are certain required needs you don't

really get otherwise. So the church

even supported her having meats for

her health, so be careful, for you

may travel in dangerous ground.
