Dr Neal Barnard is President and founder of PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) since 1985. His clinical research in early 2000s on Type 2 Diabetes reversal using Whole Food Plant-Based diet led him to write a book on the subject.

Books on Diabetes:

• (2008) Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes (288 pages) by Dr Neal Barnard.

Diabetes: How to tackle Diabetes? and Diabetes Nutrition Education Resources for Clinicians (PDF).

Food Guidelines: PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) is headed by Dr Barnard. PCRM has developed guidelines for a Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet. The Power Plate shows the main components of our food plate. Power Plate Shopping List is a wonderful checklist of what to buy (but supplements like B12 are not mentioned)! Also see Infographics, FactSheets and Substitution Chart (what should we replace animal products, oils & butters by?) 21-Day Vegan Meal Plan — Great resource for those looking for recipes to get started.

Research paper from 2006: This paper was key for Dr Barnard's 2008 book on diabetes: A Low-Fat Vegan Diet Improves Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Randomized Clinical Trial in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes Care, Vol 29, No 8, pages 1777-1783, Aug 2006. In this study, Neal Barnard's plant based diet was shown to be superior to the diet recommended by the American Dietetic Association in alleviating type 2 diabetes (see Targeting Diabetes article).
