OT: Help with Juicing/Diabetes

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody - I have recently self-diagnosed myself (home blood sugar

testing) as pre-diabetic and am looking for help in reversing that. I've

spent an enormous amount of time on the internet researching related

topics beyond lose weight/get more exercise (which I will incorporate).

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. I watched

the Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead video and was greatly influenced by that.

I don't plan on going on a 60-day juice fast, but was sucked in by the

claim that the " stars " of the documentary had eliminated most of their

medications, since I already take too many. I've become overwhelmed with

the quantity of information, not all reliable, and ask for help from

those of you with experience to help me focus on some of the

less-well-known secrets you may have discovered. I found the Eat-2-Live

and Vegetarian Yahoo forums and am also learning from those.

Melody - I noticed your comment that fenugreek was good for diabetes, so

will grow more of that. Molloy - you had previously given info on

juicing and I said I didn't, but am now the proud owner of a new

Breville juicer. My first " test " event included a little of everything

I had in the fridge, and I ended up using some V8 Fusion juice to make

it more palatable. I need to be doing mostly veg juices - I can " blend "

fruit into great smoothies already. I'd really like to improve my blood

sugar numbers in the next couple of months because I know how important

it is, but don't want to end up at the doctor and on more medication!!

By the way, all of this started from my contact with this group, and

sprouting fits in wonderfully with my new lifestyle changes. Anyone can

email me directly if you don't want to continue this on the forum.

Thanks for any help,

Dona []
