I believe Ty is an abbreviation for Thank you.

Ty, I wanted to add something. I don't know if eating all plant-based will reverse your PN. It sounds more important to me that you focus on getting your blood sugar down. I am nowhere close to an expert on diabetes, so I suggest you look into doctors that have some experience reversing it. I would start with John Bergman since he knows more about the human body that anyone I know of. Search youtube.com for "john bergman diabetes". Appears he will talk a lot about the correlation between obesity and diabetes. Don't get hung up on that, just listen to what he has to say. There are other doctors as well.

I also really encourage you to listen to all of Dr. John Hayes' podcasts at BeatingNeuropathy.com. He specializes in treating neuropathy and other chronic pain. There is a lot of good material there. He does not push all plant based. He talks about "lean protein" when he mentions animal foods. He also talks about low carb.

Oh, well I feel dumb then, sorry.

Code:

                                  protein(g) calories  protein per calorie  %protein

One Burger King c'burger          18.0       350       0.05                 21

Meat loaf with gravy (Campbell's) 14.0       230       0.06                 24

1/2 cup pinto beans, cooked*       8.0       120       0.07                 --

One cup frozen peas                9.0       120       0.08                 30

One cup frozen broccoli            5.8        52       0.11                 45

One cup cooked spinach             5.4        42       0.13                 51

Higher protein per calorie is better. Note that on a an equal calorie basis, broccoli has more than twice the protein as the cheeseburger. In other words, 100 calories of cheeseburger has 5.1 grams protein, 100 calories of broccoli has 11.2 grams protein.
