A Plant Based Prescription
Dr. Neal Barnard explains how to tackle diabetes with a vegan diet
After Marc Ramirez witnessed his mother’s battle with type 2 diabetes, and its devastating complications – which ultimately took her life – he was resigned to the idea that diabetes was his genetic destiny, especially after he was diagnosed with the disease himself. But in 2011, Marc watched the documentary Forks Over Knives and read my book Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes, which inspired him to adopt a low-fat vegan diet. In less than two months, he reversed his diabetes and was off all his medications.
