Product: Tackling Diabetes with Dr. Neal Barnard (2009)
Rating: 5.0
Tackles a Dreadful Disease Effectively
Dr. Barnard's diet for diabetes is not all that recent. He has published it previously. This book, however, is a really fine update to his previous barebones publication on the subject. My husband has diabetes, and when he follows this diet, he can maintain his blood sugar at a much lower number, and his ANC hovers around 5. When he starts increasing his fat consumption (we've been vegans for years, so flesh is never an issue), his blood sugar again goes out of control. Some of the cruel facts are that diabetes is a killer and the longer you have it the less effective the medications become. This new book has some tasty recipes that make staying on the diet a lot easier. We hope that it has bought my husband several more years. For folks who think a vegan diet is too restrictive, you just haven't explored all of the wonderful food that is available to vegans. And ultimately, how much is your life worth?
