I have been told I am insulin resistant and am on oral anti-diabetic meds.....have not had insulin resistance explained that way to me by my endo.....so.just did a search and found Dr Barnard's book for $9 on ebay so ordered it........will give it a read.....knew about giving up the white stuff (flour, sugar, bread).....but corn...I love corn and have been eating a lot of it that's gonna be tough.
I had learned that eating 1/2 cup beans at every meal will aid diabetics....by delaying digestion and delaying raising the blood sugar and so have been adding lot of beans to my diet.
Great information being posted, thanks everyone.
