Hi,

I have had type II diabetes for over 15 years. I am on the insulin pump and the max dose of metformin. I just recently started on the low-fat vegan diet, as outlined by Dr. Neal Barnard in his book, Reversing Diabetes.

I went into the hospital the 3rd of April with a heart problem. I ended up with 3 stents in my heart for 90, 80, and 75% blockages in my cardio arteries. (side effects of diabetes) My blood sugars were running 250 to 420 on average at that time.

I was put on a low fat, low salt, and low cholesterol diet. Since then I went vegan as I said.

I have released 26 lbs of weight, top weight of 298, now 272 and dropping. I have much more energy, much more stamina and my blood sugars are now in the normal range of 80 to 120. I am still on the pump and the metformin but have great confidence that they will be backing those down and I should be off of them in 6 months.

I hope this helps you for your article.

Sam Campbell
