Several years ago I had an Endocrinologist Dr. who suggested a book, "Doctor Bernard's Program to Reduce or Eliminate Diabetes". His program was to eliminate animal fat and Protein from your diet--become a Vegan! My wife was labeled Pre-Diabetic and going vegan brought her back to normal. At the time my insulin intake was running close to 50 units per day. Within a month my wife was normal and my insulin intake was 10 units per day. I have stayed Vegan and we started cold turkey. A year ago, I ate one lamb chop. No problem. Since I started on the Vegan diet, it has gotten easier to find restaurants that serve vegan food. The Herbivorous Butcher shop in MSP make Vegan fake meat which tastes great but has the same price as real meat.
