I have always had problems with high Blood Glucose. (Between 17 and 22mmol) in the last 8 days I have stopped eating meat and dairy products and have started a plant based diet. I was taking Metformen 4 x 500mg per day, Levemir (30ml in a morning and 32ml in the evening) twice a day and Novarapid before every meal.
Since starting my plant based diet. I have stopped the Novarapid and reduced my Levemir down to 22ml in a morning and 24ml in a evening. My blood glucose is now between 5mmol and 7mmol but I still take the Metformen. I have to keep a careful eye on my BG in case it drops too much, but I do feel much better for the change. I know no two diabetics are the same. I just wanted to share my experience and any new advice would be greatly appreciated.
