Greens, Lettuce, lots of it, a head of romaine a day. According to Dr. Fuhrman's book-Eat To Live, The Revolutionary Formula For Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, diabetes can be reversed. You can check out his website for free. This is powerful stuff. You are right-vegetarian with fresh fruits and vegetables-no junk food. This is powerful stuff. If you are now on meds be advised that this way of eating will lower your blood Sugar and addition of insulin can be bad. I caught mine when the Sugar was high but before meds. Lettuce and greens work.
Peace.
