Diabetic Vegetarians

[Guest guest]

There have been several discussions around diabetes and vegetarians, I

even asked questions several months back after being diagnosed as type

2 in December 06. I found an interesting cookbook at Barnes and Noble

last week that has help me to better understand the glycemic index and

how to incorporate it into a vegetarian diet. It is called The New

Glucose Revolution-Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook by Dr. Jennie Brand-

Miller, Kay Foster Powell, Kate Marsh ans Philippa Sandall. Some of

the recipes are still a bit high in carbs, but they supposedly have

an acceptable glycemic index. Since I am on a low carb diet now, I am

sticking to those recipes lower in carbs until I attend my nutririon

class next month. I have lost 23 lbs, and my average glucose for the

last 30 days has been 102. I hope to eventually stop taking Meformin.

 

Hope this book may help others with some of the quesrions recently

posed.
