Sorry bro, but I'm still on the Fuhrman train. I was diagnosed with type 2 a year and a half ago...it was my own damn fault, as I was a big fan of Coke Classic.

3 months on the Fuhrman plan, and I was taken off diabetes medication (Metformin). My HbAiC went from 11 to 4.6, and my blood glucose readings were below 100.

I've put on a few pounds because I've fallen a bit on the exercise side, but I'll be ready for my 60th birthday in a couple of weeks, enjoying a 15 mile walk, the good Lord willing.

I assume you’ve given up sodas altogether.

I’m glucose resistant and soy intolerant Have followed the glycemic index for years Thank God I found it! With all the snow this winter was not able to get out and EXERCISE or get to the grocery for fresh produce My weight and sugar levels rose. Just recently put on metformin Have already lost weight and sugar is almost where in was last fall.

With soy in everything ( government allow it as filler in hamburger and still be label 100% beef) I’ve eaten God made not man made food look a likes for years
With that said exercise seems to be the key for me

Fuhrman and the Mediterranean Diet food pyramids are very similar. The differences between the two are mainly in preparation and seasoning.

The killer, literally and figuratively, in the American diet is the prevalence of combining saturated animal fats, carbs and sodium in the same dish. Pizza is one of the worst things one can eat.
