My Doctor said "I'm in The Twilight Zone!" |

That is what my Doctor said when he looked at my lab tests. He was amazed at the results. He said he felt he was in the Twilight Zone. Just four months prior to that doctor's visit he had diagnosed me as a diabetic. My numbers were so bad that he phoned me on a Sunday to break the bad news. During that call he told me frankly that my numbers were "over the top" and I had to get on Glipizide immediately. I put down the phone, numb. Still in a daze I got on the Internet and Googled "diabetes". I did not like what I found. Over the next few days I continued my research and then stumbled onto a ray of hope. I read about medical studies that indicated that a Vegan diet could help and even reverse diabetes. I decided to go on a diet which I now call Vegan Extreeeme. Then four months later I came back for the lab tests that amazed both me and my Doctor. Little by little he reduced my Glipizide. After additional tests in September 2007 he took me completely off Glipizide. Finally my Doctor cancelled all prescription drugs a few days short of my one year "anniversary" of my initial diagnosis.

I didn't even know how to spell Diabetes... |

When I was diagnosed with diabetes I did what probably you did to find my site. In my case I Googled "D-I A-B-E-T-I-S". I didn't even know how to spell it. I was still numb from hearing the verdict of my blood test from my Doctor on that phone call that ruined my Sunday. I didn't like the results that Google provided. They were pretty scary.
A few days later I went to my health plan's Diabetes education service, and heard the Registered Nurse explain the new way we were to eat. Small portions of this and that. I was still in a daze and did not want to be even in that classroom. I didn't want to hear what she was saying.
The Nurse's Diet Plan Was Depressing -- and Didn't Make Sense!
And the more I listened the more the diet didn't make sense to me. Especially when she said I needed to limit my meat. I felt I should have no meat at all. Years before I was once a Vegan and then segued back into a vegetarian and I ate limited meat, but I knew in my heart that a vegan diet was the best diet. And now that I was diagnosed as being a diabetic I knew instinctively that only a vegan diet would be my future.
When I returned home from the diabetes class I continued my Googling on Diabetes and Veganism. I liked what I read. It made sense. But I instinctively felt I could do better. Most Vegan/Diabetes plans allowed processed food, such as breads, tofu and juices. I made a choice to eliminate processed food. And I'll tell you why i "went extreeeme" as you explore my website.
