[QUOTE="Welshman1952, post: 1162539, member: 292581"] Hi jingyd36. I'm a veeg [emoji3] A few years ago I discovered that I am pretty much lactose intolerant (drink milk or eat cheese and I will go deaf). On top of that I loathe eggs! So the easier option was to go began. A month ago I was diagnosed T2 and since diagnosis i have largely stayed with a LCHF diet. Lots of beans and pulses of course and plenty of veggies. Now, I know veggies have carbs in them so I regularly check my monitor to see what is and isn't good. So far chick peas, red kidney, haricot, aduki, and butter beans are all good. So too are lentils (Inc red, green and puy). Most green veg and salad is good, although I do carefully portion control as I need to shift a few stone. I am told lots of diabetic veegs love nuts, but as they would probably kill me, I stay away from the little devils!! Lots of Mediterranean cooking can be great for veeg diabetics. Look for recipes for taboulleh - pure gold! Also check out Yotam Ottolenghi - a lot of his recipes can easily be veganised. I make a mean shakshuka but substitute peppered tofu for egg.
