My blood sugar has dropped to normal (am a diet-and-exercise-only diabetic) and my cholesterol too. Have lost weight and feel great.

I am a vegan with an occasional serving of fish. No dairy though--and the cutting out of saturated animal fats is what has fixed my blood sugar levels. Saturated fat leads to insulin resistance.
