I found out that I had diabetes about ten years ago. I believe I got it from taking Abilify, an antipsychotic medication. My insurance company even warned me of it after the fact. I went looking online for treatments that I could use at home. I found a book by Dr. Joel Fuhrman called Eat To Live. He asserted that switching to a vegan diet is the way to get out of diabetic range. I decided to commit to a totally vegan diet. My A1C was at 11 and within four and a half months I had lost 20 lbs without limiting what I ate or counting calories or exercising. My A1C went down to about 7. Because I wasn't eating any cholesterol my cholesterol numbers went down. Unfortunately I didn't stick with it to the point where my A1C went up to 15, which is dangerously high. And so I tried again with a vegan diet and again I lost 20 lbs and my A1C went down to 7 in five months.
With diabetes, animal fat stays within the cells blocking and clogging the receptors sites for the insulin to get into the cell. Without the animal fat, the insulin can feed the cell properly. Also, no cholesterol, which is the cause for so many health problems like heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. For addicts going into recovery, a vegan diet can give you much healthy support.
Try to watch a documentary called Plant Pure Nation. I have seen it on Amazon Prime, but you might be able to link to it through YouTube. I highly recommend buying their cookbook, also called Plant Pure Nation. You can get it on Amazon - book, $13.48 and on Kindle, $7.99 This is the cookbook I have been focusing on and many of the recipes are very good.
