Won't some insurance companies send you out a test for A1c and it has an address

as to where to mail it?  Seems that my former insurance did that and I didn't

as I was going to the doctor anyway and wanted other things checked too, like

triglicerides and vitamin D. 

 

It is worth calling the insurance company to see if they supply A1c tests.

> Melody - thanks for alerting me to the other two tests. I had a friend back

in California that had type 2, and he had to go to his doctor every 3 months for

an A1C test. I had no idea you could do your own these days. Fascinating. Thanks

again,

I use so many sources.  I like Colleen Goudreau's " The Vegan Table " , I

use Veg News and PCRM's websites.  I really like Dr. McDougall, Dr. Fuhrman,

Forks over Knives and then I usually just google what I want to prepare.  The

more you look around the internet for recipes, the more you find that it will

lead you to other sources.  The best Mac N Cheese recipe comes from Veg News! 

When thinking about diabetes, I would look into Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. McDougall

& Dr. Fuhrman.

Hi Donna,

Do you have a favorite resource for easy vegan (website, recipe book,

etc)? I've been looking around at Raw, vegan, vegetarian... none of it

is looking easy.

Thanks!

I totally respect Dr. Fuhrman and juicing vegetable juices is very beneficial. 

When it comes to disease control I also respect Dr. Gerson, Dr. McDougall, Dr.

Esselstyn, Dr. and Dr. Barnard.  There is so much great information

out there.

 

Thanks for the encouragement

 

Donna

Donna,

Hi! I think you can't do better than Fuhrman's plan. He has so much

evidence for his way of eating, that I recommend it to anyone who wants

to get healthy. I can't be a full vegetarian, but don't eat meat very

much any more, mostly thanks to his book. I've lost about 30-35 lbs

since adopting his eating plan as much as I can. Cutting the volume is a

good way to lose weight, in addition to eliminating meat and breads as

much as possible.

Be careful with the juicing. If you juice fruits too much, you can add a

LOT of sugar to your diet. And remember what Fuhrman says about fiber?

By juicing, if it's an extractor, you're tossing the fiber and

micronutrients contained in it. I have a Ninja, and it juices the

entire plant, it's like a super blender, and nothing is wasted.

H.

Specifically, I'm going to follow the Eat to Live (Fuhrman) plan as much

as I can, including going mostly vegetarian - a lot it raw.
