Hi, I'm supporting your beliefs as long as you use a blood glucose meter to verify your food intake. The ONLY way a type 2 diabetic can verify diet is to use a blood glucose monitor to check each meal, otherwise you are just asking people to commit suicide. The real science is blood glucose monitoring and everything else is just straight bull poo poo. I am sorry for being so blunt, but once you examine your blood sugars with a monitor, you will know the truth...Hi all,
Nutritionfacts is a great resource for diabetes sufferers. It's a non-profit organisation that offers short videos outlining the science of many health conditions and how they can be treated with diet and lifestyle changes.The long term solution is not drugs.
After we went to Hawaii we (well ME at least) learned to love SPAM. Just Google "Hawaii and spam" and you will know why (or howThat reminds me to pickup a tin of spam at Waitrose today. Thanks for the tip
Look, I would agree that for many people a vegan diet is better than a meat-based one, particularly one with processed meats. I am also quite prepared to believe that vegans have a lower incidence of diabetes than omnivores. (If only because they tend to have lower BMIs).Type 2 Diabetes can be cured as it is caused by regular meat consumption.
Absolutely. Look at all the T2ers on these forums who have achieved remission by going low carb. Unfortunately, as I'm T1, there's nothing I can do to avoid insulin, and I am very grateful to be able to take that particular drug and stay alive.The long term solution is not drugs.
And we have a winner. If a diet (whether low carb, vegan or carnivore) keeps your blood sugar levels in normal ranges then go for it, it works for you.Hi, I'm supporting your beliefs as long as you use a blood glucose meter to verify your food intake.
I didn't include the rest of the quote because I really believe that most of us here believe that the diet that lowers our blood sugars is the one to follow for us individually, NOT the one that is dictated to us. It does not matter if you are omnivore, carnivore or vegan, use that "darned" blood glucose meter to determine what is good for YOU! I will get off my soap box now (again)...Look, I would agree that for many people a vegan diet is better than a meat-based one, particularly one with processed meats..
I am hoping that even if you need drugs, you will at least get a blood glucose meter to test yourself for the effects of various foods and drink. Please do not underestimate the really nasty end results of being reluctant to do so...Many type twos don't have a choice and need drugs, not all are overweight either so can't be to do with weight.
Let me count some of the ways...Oh bacon, how I love thee, let me count the ways...
If I have offended anyone, I sincerely apologize, I am an advocate of using a blood glucose meter to personal advantage, regardless of diet.Hi Everyone,
I would like to remind people that this thread was posted by someone who seems to genuinely believe that veganism is a cure/preventative for diabetes (I'm assuming they mean T2 dabetes, although that isn't clear).
This isn't a thread for people to taunt vegans with insults or the glorification of meat eating and animal slaughter. Such posts will be deleted.
Please don't derail the thread, or break forum rules on courtesy. If anyone wants to read the forum rules, there is a link in my signature, but the short version is be tolerant of other people's choices, and be polite to eachother.
An even shorter version: Polite discussion good. Rudeness, bad.

Contrary to popular belief, Type 2 Diabetes is not caused by carbohydrate consumption. That's not to say carbohydrates don't trigger the problem once Type 2 Diabetes is developed. Type 2 Diabetes can be cured as it is caused by regular meat consumption. Meat consumption over long periods of time, combined with being overweight, can interfere with the body's ability to regulate glucose (sugar). This then in turn causes an inability to regulate the sugars coming from carbohydrates.
So, if you stop consuming meat, ideally all animal products, what happens is the body will rapidly start to regain its ability to regular blood sugars.
Couldn't agree more. GI on meat - ZERO. One day, when I'm ready to die - I will eat carb rich foods, until then, living life and winning!I'll stick with my meat based diet.... you can eat whatever you like, but I am NOT reintroducing carb rich foods. Your so called facts are rubbish and amount to nothing more.
