Product Description
Offering new hope to millions, this new nutritional approach to diabetes will dramatically alter the way we think about treating the diseaseUntil now, most health professionals have considered diabetes a one-way street. Once you developed it, you were stuck with it—and you could anticipate one complication after another, from worsening eyesight and nerve symptoms to heart and kidney problems.Enter Dr. Neal Barnard, who through a series of groundbreaking studies, the latest funded by the National Institutes for Health, has shown it doesn’t have to be that way. By following the diet outlined in this book, readers can control blood sugar three times more effectively than with the American Diabetes Association’s diet and, beyond that, improve their bodies’ ability to respond to insulin—in effect reversing the defining symptom of the disease. And there’s more. Study participants lost weight, were able to cut back on and sometimes even discontinue medications, and left behind tedious exchange plans in favor of delicious foods in generous portions.It’s a new way to treat diabetes. It’s about time. |

Help for People Facing Diabetes by J. Wright (Linesville, PA)  5 Stars
August 21, 2009
I recently attended a lecture about managing diabetes. I was appalled when it was presented that at some point, everyone who is diabetic will have to go on insulin. I had already purchased this book and started reading it prior to the meeting. As I have a family history of diabetes and my Mom died due to the complications of it, I am determined to do my utmost to NOT have this disease. This book is very clear and easy to follow. Everything in it is DOABLE for anyone who is serious about his/her health. I have been following the recommendations in this book for a month now and have lost 20 pounds and feel SO much more energetic! I recommend this book highly to anyone facing this disease themselves or with a family member!

Vegan Diet Surprise by C. Hansen  3 Stars
July 07, 2009
I am newly diagnosed with type II diabetes and I am working hard to get my blood glucose normalized and to not have to use medication. When I bought the book, I had no idea that the book supported a vegan diet plan. I am already radically changing my diet and exercise regimen. And, I am not sure I want to go to a vegan diet. I wish there had been more description of the diet and more studies cited supporting the diet. Much of the information in the book is very general about long-term complications of diabetes-complications that anyone with a good doctor or the ability to search the web would know about. I feel like this is another diet plan/book that preys on people who are searching and trying to change their health through diet, but because the plan was not described well enough in the introduction on Amazon, my money was wasted and it is a book that will remain unused on my book shelf. Also, there are conflicting studies about what is the perfect anti-diabetic diet and this book does not address those studies. Finally, exercise is key to controlling diabetes, and is not central in the discussion of diabetes control or reversal in the book.

this diet almost killed me by D. Patrick Lynch (Miami, FL)  1 Stars
May 02, 2009
I thought that the premises of this vegan diet made sense so i bought the book and gave it a try. like most diets it involves checking and rechecking,then substituting every thing in the grocery. it is, naturally more expensive than a normal diet but i did give it my best shot along with some additional exercise. imagine my dismay when after a few days i found my sugar had shot up to over 300 and hovered in that neighbor hood. i thought that it might have been an anomaly and i was loosing weight. My sugar didn't come down until i discontinued the diet. The premises still makes sense but it wasn't for me. perhaps it was all the soy products -who knows.

Dr. Barnard's research makes a lot of sense. The meals in the book are tasty and have lowered my blood sugar count considerably. However, weight loss has been minimal after four weeks on the program.
