Is a Vegan Diet good for diabetes?!
Question:
Is a Vegan Diet good for diabetes?
I have recently heard that a vegan diet would cure diabetes. Is there any evidence of this that can be found/ What percent of vegans are diabetic? I appreciate any input on this subject from those of you with information. Have a wonderful weekend and a fabulous LORD's DAY! Thank you, Eds, A Simple Christian .

Pangel and KatyZo,
I am a type 1 diabetic of more than 40 years. I have done more reseascr on the topic than most medics that I have been with. Their expertise is NOT diet at all. I have an allergy to some milk products that has been with me since birth and the research that I have read found that every type 1 diabetic also has this to be the case. I watched a newscast that a gentleman told that he had and could cure diabetes from a change of diet to EXCLUDE all meat products and biproducts. I believe that this is a vegan diet essentially. I will get HIS name and include it here.
Answers:
is that type 1 or type 2 Eds
type 2 is diet controlled and may benefit from a vegan diet
type one needs carbohydrates in order for the insulin to take effect , so a vegan diet would be very difficult with type 2
I would definitely ask your doctor about this before taking anyones opinion on it though
