Type 2 on insulin for two years. Hated it..blood sugar bouncing around...lost 45 lbs and able to use only Metformin to stay around a-1c less than 7. an "almost" vegan diet will make control a lot easier.

You might check on Amazon or elsewhere to find "The Firehouse diet # 2".The book was written by an Austin fireman + it does work if you follow the recipes. Myself,I have been raised on meat +potatoes + although I tried it for a few months (+it worked) my eating style over a lifetime won out.I don't have diabetes but these recipes are good for that as well as weight loss.Worth a look.
