Neil Barnard has a new book, The Reverse Diabetes Diet. From an article about the book:

The Reverse Diabetes Diet is based on clinical research Barnard conducted with George Washington University and the University of Toronto. The study, funded by the United States National Institutes of Health, found that the low-fat vegan diet controlled blood sugar three times more effectively than the American Diabetes Association diet. The book describes the low-fat vegan diet that Barnard says can help many patients cut their blood sugars, improve their insulin sensitivity, and reduce if not eliminate their medications. It includes a three-week meal plan with more than 50 recipes.

“Our research shows that the low-fat vegan diet is more effective at treating diabetes than the typical diet or oral medications,” says Barnard. “And although this may seem counter-intuitive, our study participants found the vegan diet easier to stick with than the standard or American Diabetes Association diet. That’s because no one has to cut calories, watch portion sizes, or limit carbohydrates. This approach could put a huge dent in the diabetes epidemic.”
