[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 237034, member: 19121"] Hi Ms.Vegan I would agree with Mothman here to go from a normal eat anything diet to a vegan diet unless you are so pro animal rights that you refuse to eat anything with a face Is going to be a hell of a step to take and totally unnecessary in my opinion, your mum will almost certainly be able to control her diabetes by reduction of the carbs she eats and a general reduction in her total food intake. Regardless of what Dr Barnard, Dr Dugan and other nutters say diabetes is for life unfortunately, it can be control and non diabetic levels of blood glucose can and are achieved by many but those people are still diabetics, just well controlled diabetics. Diabetes will always be lurking in the background waiting to bite the well controlled should they let their tight control slip. Try to remember that until a medical breakthrough happens and a cure is found, diabetes is for life and to control it one must adopt a lifestyle that they can sustain for a lifetime, diets are for the short term and rarely work, what is needed is a lifestyle change that can be sustained and most of us Type 2 diabetics here find that that lifestyle includes exercise and carbohydrate reduction, how much carbohydrate to reduce is an individual choice made as I say by what the individual is able to sustain long term. Every diabetic is slightly different depending on the severity of their condition, the amount of insulin resistance one has and the damage to the pancreas which has already occurred, some T2 diabetics require medication from the start others can live meds free for many years by diet and exercise alone. Have a read through the forum you will find lots of advice about carb reduction and living with diabetes :D Ps. I have never heard of a diabetic nutritionist and would be very weary of anyone claiming to be one, only registered NHS Dieticians should be consulted about diabetic related diets and I would be most surprised by any of them recommending a vegan diet in fact I think they would risk being struck of by the medical council if they did so :thumbdown: Who recommended this 'Nutritionist' to you? And what qualifications did they have? [/QUOTE]
