I've completely overhauled my diet as well. I'd still like to do more, but the primary thing I've done is cut way back on all carbs. I thought I was eating healthy before with all my whole grains, beans, rice etc..., but I was wearing out my pancreas with all that carb "goodness." It was a horribly difficult change at first, but I've adjusted.

If any good has become of my SFN, I've hopefully taken myself off the path to diabetes. The latest stats on the disease in the U.S. are sobering.

Prediabetes

- 37% of U.S. adults aged 20 years or older have prediabetes
- Only 11.1% of Americans with prediabetes have been told they have it

Diabetes

- 29.1 million Americans, 9.3% of the population, have diabetes
- 8.1 million Americans have undiagnosed diabetes (27.8% of diabetes is undiagnosed)

I went through the same thing with diet. Now I limit grains and carbs drastically, I do eat lentils however. Mostly I eat my no sugar protein ice cream and then raw sprout salads and a green drink that is loaded with anti oxidents and deep greens. Parsley, Dandelion, dried grass pwds, spirulina, etc, blended in a power blender until it's basically liquid. That's pretty much what I'm eating these days.

Lentils are one of my favorite foods.

At the co-op where I worked as a supplement buyer for 19 years they have a dried lentil soup mix. I make it up and add some cayenne and a glob of a OG mayo and then raw pumpkin seeds. It's fantastic and it's a rare day I'm not eating some. I'm pretty sure that lentils are a good bean for folk with neuropathy from diabetes.

They pack great protein for me, I like them as soup, though actually prefer them al denté with onions and some carrots with an indian spice profile for some added glucose control.

I could probably Bubba Gump to lentils the way he does shrimp.
