hey there karen m...
the book that turned me vegetarian was "diet for a new america" by john
robbins. i'm sure that many of you have read it. it contains a small section
about how a vegetarian diet can help diabetes. after following a meatless
diet, many diabetics either reduced the amount of insulin they needed or
stopped using it completely. b/c i am now in college and the book is at home,
i am not able to look up the information for you. however, it may be
worthwhile to go to a bookstore and at least read that small section.
