yes, I am a recent vegan! i don't do low carb or low fat, just eat pretty much normally as a vegan. Lots of fruit, veg, beans, grains, nuts, mock meats, soy yogurt, dark chocolate, pretty much a bit of everything. Beans and grains are cheapest and convenient though! hit me up with some recipes...

It's not really causing problems now i've started the intermittent fasting. I'm in range almost all day, now. My team already knew about it but honestly they didn't seem to care i was spiking so high because for the rest of my day my control was fantastic and my a1c was already low (they are...

Honestly, it was such a daily battle that I decided to just start skipping it and start with the intermittent fasting. The rye porridge was better, (because of the added fibre that delays the spike), as was adding peanut butter (delays the spike similar to your suggestion about cream) but it...

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone has taken their daily doses of cinnamon to cure us all this morning ;)

just going to ramble about my experience with heavy insulin resistance in the morning despite my otherwise very insulin sensitive day! i'm a type 1 on 5 units of Tresiba basal, it works well. In the afternoon or evening, I rend to only need about 1 unit of rapid insulin for 30-40g of carbs...

It looks like a really steep drop, but i was only dropping from 8.8 to 4.5 over 2 hours (my graph on my phone is pretty spikey and makes it look way worse). Libre makes it easy to catch drops!

i don't have the alarms set up because i never have night time lows usually!

lentils/beans/chickpeas are really healthy foods for the average person- it's just important to note that they have carbs, so are probably not good for someone who is not on insulin. Tofu and edamame beans are much lower in carbs, so maybe you could try replacing the lentils/chickpeas with those...

thank you! it's the first time it's happened so far, so i'll wait and see. appreciate your help as i've only had libre 2 for a month so far!

6.4% or 46mmol/mol. Very happy with this as I eat lots of carbs and don't want to give them up!

https://ibb.co/xCD5f8K I have otherwise pretty much perfect blood sugar, so a compression low is a little annoying. I did not wake up in the night. I do not want to decrease my basal as currently I'm only on 5 units of Tresiba 24h and that already seems very low. However if it's likely that's...

wow this derailed this has been incredibly disappointing. It was not my intention to try to convert people to high carb vegan, or to demonise meat, or to prove anything incredible. i'm just sharing my story i am nowhere near well informed enough to hold my own in a discussion like this!

sorry, but official recommendations worldwide seem to be that saturated fat is actually harmful and that we should reduce our intake of it. saying that it is 'fine' seems irresponsible to me

I'm sorry, I admit i'm struggling to understand a lot of your answer. i'm not that well versed in the online nutrition community. When you say 'your response is phenomenal as it is objective' is that a positive thing? (if it's not, that's fine! i'm still learning as I go). Also, can you clarify...

I may be wrong, but don't vegans tend to have lower inflammatory markers in general? My cholesterol has always been very good, not surprising as I've always been a big fan of fruit and veg and legumes even before going vegan. but at my next blood test i'll have a look at my cholesterol again and...
