**Get the books End of Diabetes by Dr Neal Barnard, also book by Dr Joel Fuhrman, and seriously read them. My husband was diagnosed diabetic 2 years ago last May, a doctor cardiologist friend of mine told me to read those books. We did. He changed his diet and reversed his diabetes, no medications now, his labs come back in the normal range unless he screws the diet up or drinks alcohol. He also lost over 20 pounds eating all day long but - a vegan diet. I did the same as I also read the books, especially the one Cheese, Breaking the Addiction, also Dr Barnard, at first for health reasons, now for moral reasons as well. Good luck with your health. This applies to type 2 diabetes but I am sure you know that. Just get the books. This is not some fad diet, its the results of the medical advances made in the recent past few years .
