The New Diabetes Diet

So I am cleaning out old magazines.. and there on the front cover of my "Body and Soul" magazine was an article "The new diabetic diet"... I grab it and read it through. Yup. A super short article about vegan diets being good for diabetics. Did I not see it before? Did I not know where to look.
Can I successfully beat diabetes?

Here is the brief article:

The New Diabetes Diet
Just in time for American Diabetes Month, a new report shows that going vegan may reduce diabetics' dependence on medication. In a Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) study of 99 people with Type 2 Diabetes, 43 percent of those who followed a low-fat vegan diet for five months were able to get by on a lower dose of their prescriptions- or drop them all together. "The vegan diet appears to control weight, blood sugars, and cholesterol more effectively than a typical diabetes diet," says lead study author and PCRM President Neal D. Barndard, M.D. "IT also requires no calorie counting, no prtion limits, and no limits on carbohydrates. And because the diet is rch in high- fiber foods, it tends to be filling." Barnard encourages those with diabetes to try a low- fat vegan diet for three weeks; visit pcrm.org for a how-to guide.

With that I found a great resource... click on the blog title and you can go there. I will buy the book soon "Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes". How exciting!
