Diabetes

[hihoplastic]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has a recommendation for a good vegan (or, honestly vegetarian) cookbook for a person with diabetes. I'm vegan, but my dad isn't and we think he's developing diabetes, but because he's a stubborn mule he refuses to go to a doctor and learn more about it. I'm away at college right now, but I'll be home in May and

I haven't used it myself, but maybe check out this one? http://www.akpress.org/2006/items/veganmenuforpeoplewithdiabetes

Hope it helps!

Ooh that looks wonderful, thank you so much! If anyone's read it and can comment on it, that'd be good too, but I think I'll get it for him. THANK YOU! :D

That looks amazing, thank you! I've been considering going raw as well, so maybe this is something my dad and I can do together. THANK YOU!

Excellent movie! I did some of the music on that film.

I don't know where to find the book/DVD, but PBS had a special called Taking Control of Diabetes which promoted a vegan diet:

Awesome! My dad might actually listen to that, as he loves PBS. Sweet. Thank you so much!

Hey, I'm vegan and my mom is recently "pre-diabetic", and I bought Appetite for Reduction so I can make recipes to share with her. It's by the same author of Veganomicon and Vegan with a Vengeance. I also just ordered The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook by Neal Barnard, which I haven't read yet but it has great reviews and the author - a vegan physician - seems pretty awesome.

I'm trying to make a meal plan with my mom and maybe even follow it with her - it'll be a little while before I finish it, but would you be interested in me sending it along to you?

I don't have any recommendations, but my grandma has type II diabetes, and she has noticed that her blood sugar (?i don't know how diabetes works) reacts much better to vegan meals.
