Another word about articles: Under the theory that "a diabetic convinced against their will is of the same opinion still," the goal of Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics is not to convince members of something but rather to challenge them to think. If you were raised Adventist, you are undoubtedly familiar with the statement that the goal … Continue reading To Be Thinkers and Not Mere Reflectors
Recently, a group member asked a question which I re-posted and then decided to blog about so more people would see it. He wrote, "Are you aware of the link between low carb diets and MASSIVE meat consumption, organ meats highly promoted? Vegetarian approach seems rare, leafy greens are the main group on the okay … Continue reading Why Adventist Vegetarian Diabetics?
Three days ago I read the most profound article I've come across in a long time. It was written by Dr. Jack Hoehn, a retired Adventist physician, who actually wrote a three-part series, "Adventists in Health Care," published in Adventist Today (see link below).

I have family members … Continue reading “Vegetarianism and Diabetes” from Adventist World
Those of us who grew up Adventist know that there are many meat analogs available for those who don't have any problem with the chemical ingredients in them and the higher carb content. Since I didn't have to cook for potluck or church breakfast tomorrow, I spent some time this Friday afternoon researching. I have … Continue reading Meat Analogs
Wikipedia defines "present truth" (in Adventist theology) as "a belief in truth as appropriate to any given time." But it is the dietary approach to diabetes management that especially needs application of present truth as I continue to research and sort through the plethora of conflicting ideas. Eden diet? Clean meat? Vegetarian? Vegan? Weimar/NEWSTART® diet? Atkins … Continue reading Present Truth
