[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2229326"] I think in a nutshell: no, vegetarianism, in and of itself, will not help lower blood sugar. Or put another way, in a clinical trial where the only intervention was to remove all meat from the diet and replace it with plants, I would not expect markedly lower blood glucose to follow. On the whole, it's a negative from me. An [B][I]appropriate[/I][/B] diet that is [B][I]also[/I][/B] vegetarian may be help lower blood glucose, but it will be the appropriate part that did it, not the vegetation. I don't doubt that many diabetics have success with vegetarianism, but I think we would find most were previously eating S.A.D (Stupid American Diet) high in carbs and fat (the perfect storm of metabolic calamity) that also happened to include meat.
