Patrycja: I'm off all medications now. It took about six months of very-low-fat whole-food vegan to get to that point and it still wasn't really working for me until I cut out all glutens (more Americans are sensitive to gluten than are lactose in...

No, not everyone. :-) Personally, I'm high-carbing. It's working for me but I'm not a doctor, so I'm not telling anyone else how to eat. I did a lot of research, starting with medical journals, and as a result I'm on a high-fruit diet. Yeah, I k...

Patrycja: I wish I could exercise as much as you do, but I can't afford the calories. I can barely pay for the food I eat right now and that only by making lots of other sacrifices. If I added another ten miles to my day, I'd have to go back to th...

Actually, I feel very energetic and renewed after a long walk or cycle. I can feel my muscles tingling and I feel very awake and alive and full of zest! I have an iPod shuffle and I use the workout music at podrunner to keep my powerwalking up to ...

Hi, my name is Becky, I have type II and just found out about 2 weeks ago. I am taking oral med. I was wondering if this is normal. When I wake up my BS usually is 117 approx. it gos up and down all day, the highest being 156. Is this how it is suppose to be, or should it always be under 100? Becky

I'm type 1, so I don't have to watch the fat quite so much. If you've already seen the ppk, you probably already know about fat free vegan too. When I first went vegan, I couldn't find any diabetics, and now they're turning up everywhere. Or maybe we're all just speaking up now.

Hi sparrowrose. I saw you were vegan too in the healthy budget discussion. I thought you might enjoy another message board I belong to called the post punk kitchen. It's about really great vegan food. It's not about diabetes, but there are quite a few people with diabetes who post there.
