@A DiabetesTeam Member, very true you cannot reverse diabetes, my goal is not to reverse since I know once a diabetic always a diabetic but my biggest concern is blood pressure and cholesterol and if my biologic causes my blood sugar to rise then maybe a new eating style will help keep it in check. I’m hoping it helps reduce my inflammation as well. Only time will tell. I realize that if you revert back to old habits diabetes will in turn progress.

There is a lot of miss information out there trying to take people's money with false promises. I don't eat red meat to often myself.

Knows you can't reverse diabetes. She tries different approaches to try to manage her diabetes. She is like myself, we don't do well taking meds.
If anybody tells me they can reverse diabetes I know it's a lie.
A self proclaimed doctor approached me and said she could reverse diabetes with a tincture she had made. I told her to get lost and blocked her on all my social media platforms.
Dr. Neal Barnard's book is a well-known resource in the diabetes community! His approach focuses on a low-fat vegan diet rather than low-carb, which is quite different from what many people with diabetes are used to hearing.
Some DiabetesTeam members have explored plant-based eating with positive results. Research does Show Full Answer
I have a small portion of carbs occasionally & it's done my TYPE2 no harm whatsoever so there is no need for a carb free or a vegan high carb diet cos regularly eating high carb foods is dangerous. I've been TYPE2 for nearly 31yrs & occasional small.portions of carbs have done me no harm whatsoever NUFF SAID. Diabetes is all about A BALANCED DIET & there's no need whatsoever to change to a high carb vegan diet unless you're a vegan anyway. NUFF SAID!
@A DiabetesTeam Member no offense taken. It’s good to hear other people’s experiences. That’s how we learn. I don’t think living a vegan life permanently is in my plans more a temporary plan, I would fare better as a vegetarian as I do love my dairy and eggs. Veganism is to see if perhaps I can get a handle on my other health issues and perhaps help my diabetes. I do need to cut back on red meat and fat. I will be having a discussion with my Dr. to see if he feels I’d benefit from it.
