Reverse Diabetes Now

i wish my family doctor had told me about these things that Dr. Barnard tells us about dealing with diabetes.One of the simple things he teaches us about is eliminate fat from your diet to fight diabetes and my doctor as well as the diabetes classes i went to never even mentions it. all they talk about is carbs.Simple explanation from Dr. Barnard, the insulin cant get into the cells to take care of the carbs and glucose because the fat is already in the cells so there's no room left for the insulin to get in.I eliminated fat from my diet as much as possible and my a1c dropped from 7.7 to 6.6 withing 2 months. my glucose number will be in the 90's or near 100 at the end of the day instead of in the 160's to 190's.

I fully believe that this scientific program of Dr. N. Barnard is really right. Back to our old country, the Philippines, especially in the rural area, I known a lot of old people who lived more than 90 years old. They just ate rice and steam and boiled vegetables. They didn't have diabetes or hypertension and heart problems. They just died of old age. I had been only a bout 2 months that I was diagnosed that I have a type 2 diabetes and, accidentally, I saw part of the show of Dr. N. Barnard in PBS TV channel.For more than a month, I'm trying to follow the program of Dr. Noel Barnard,I already lost about 15 lbs. My blood sugar went down from 199 to 94-118 and my blood pressure went down from 158/104 down to 138-125/94-84. However, sometimes I could not resist, I ate meat and fish. It works for me,even though I am not following his program religiously.

I am reviewing after having read the book...The author makes a very convincing case for his suggestion on how to reverse diabetes:1) a completely vegan diet2) minimize vegetable fat intake3) eat only low glycemic index foods from what remainsWhich made me wonder - if it's so simple and the book was published seven years ago, why isn't every diabetic doing this, and why is the book available for only 1 cent? So I asked my doctor. His answer was - perhaps because it doesn't work. (He has never heard of this approach.) So, instead of putting the diet into practice, I am going back to one prepared for me by a professional dietitian eight years ago, and which worked while I used it.

Still reading it and the other information it came with, but showing some interesting information for changing the diet for Diabetics. Supports with research information. Will have to see if it is worth it!

Dr. Barnard has significant research to demonstrate how a vegan diet reverses diabetes or at the very least prevents it from worsening. Though I am still using some dairy as a protein source my blood glucose levels are in the normal range unless I stray from the diet. I lost 7lb in the first 2 weeks which lowered my blood glucose levels enough to avoid starting medication. My physician was so impressed with the immediate results that though he intended to start me on medication, he decided to wait 3 months to see if I could bring it down on my own.

When I received this book, I placed it in my bookcase. Just pulled it out yesterday and started to read it. The cover was marred, pages were missing and marked up like a small child had been playing with it. I always buy things advertised as very good or like new or new. I was surprised to find this book in this condition.

After a tough year of very low carbs to control our insulin- resistance, we had to try something else. This seems much more practical and we like that it includes complex carbs and dried beans.

I have had diabetes for 15 years now and after reading this book I have hope to reverse it. I have been on the diet for a week now and my blood sugar readings are low even after I eat a lot of carbohydrates. The diet is vegan which is not easy to do. We'll see how it goes.

Book ok for being used. Lots of information to take in.

could have been better

Very clear in presenting the facts about diabetes and how to reverse it without medication.

Very good book for diabetes and how to eat & live well.
