love this article! especially the part about a little bit of meat. people think that it’s ok but it is great to see a study that proves it wrong.

Very informative article! I know so many people these days who are getting diabetes — the message that we need to eat healthier needs to be said as often as possible.

Thank you for linking to the new 7-day Adventist Study. I read it from the beginning to the end.

I really hope that more information about the way vegan diet can change the treatment of diabetes gets out there. Information of cured Type II Diabetes cases is readily available, so I sincerely help that more practicing doctors learn about it and start helping their patients apply it in their lives. There are a lot of those that need their help…

One bit I forgot.. it may not be a cure but it is bound to help. The protien and cheese and yogurt she has been instructed to eat are all making in worse. Like all diseases it may be a healing of a type but not a cure. Hugs. Callie

Here we are again. Back to the fact that Americans are killing themselves with there forks. This article is one I have been waiting on for a long time. My mother who has eaten fairly well on the SAD for years recently developed type one diabetis. She has loved what this diet has done for my life and my husbands but has been very reluctant to give it a try. She is on an insulin pump and diabetis rules her life. She swings from incredible highs to incredible lows all day. My dad and husband also have type two but my husbands is taken care of by diet. I sent her this article and she is our at Fresh Market stocking up I know the change may happen and it may not but I am so glad this is posted here and she has other studies to read to back it up. She has had it with her life being such a slave to her disease. I pray it can change she is strong enough to do it once she sets her mind to it. Thank you. Callie

Great article! It is awesome that there are now studies that prove the benefits of a vegan diet. I think the next step is to fund programs providing motivational counseling and guidance to help Type 2 diabetics make these changes (to help overcome the emotional ties to the SAD diet). The payoff in terms of reduced health care costs would put that money back in the government’s pocket.

Also, as a Type 1 diabetic, I thank you for clearly explaining these studies pertain to Type 2 diabetes…. it is a little frustrating when I am told by well-intentioned people that diet can cure my diabetes! My vegan diet hasn’t cured me, but I certainly feel great on it!
