Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics began as a Facebook Private Group in 2013 because the author, Jacqueline Lemi-Hegarty, could not find a diabetes support group that addressed her dietary lifestyle as a type 2 diabetic with a Seventh-day Adventist background. She was looking specifically for recipes that were either lacto-ovo vegetarian or non-vegetarian with meats that Adventists consider “clean” by Biblical standards in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
She discovered that those who achieved the most success in reversing diabetes symptoms eliminate sugar in all its forms, eat unprocessed foods, and practice intermittent fasting. They may be vegan, vegetarian, or non-vegetarian. Hegarty’s experience (n=1), her observations of others’ experiences, and her research resulted in creation of this book.
Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics, 2nd Edition is presented in four sections plus Appendices.
The first section is “Getting Started” with informational chapters and essential skills for success in controlling diabetes. Includes setting/adjusting goals, dietary approaches to management of diabetes, and a detailed procedure for “Eating to Your Meter” (reinforcing our tagline, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good”).
The next section is based on “The 8 Laws of Health” and how each “law” is related to diabetes management.
Then “Diabetes Basics” presents important topics that newly diagnosed diabetics frequently have questions about, such as carb calculations, cholesterol, Dawn Phenomenon, diabetes medications and insulin, hyperinsulinemia, metabolic syndrome, nutritional ketosis, and more.
Finally, “Related Issues” discusses other medical/health conditions, non-diabetic medications, and supplements and alternative treatments.
The Appendices contain infographics, printable charts and forms, food lists, extra articles, and a sampling of success stories.
