[QUOTE="Norman Stanley, post: 1810547, member: 477682"] My diagnosis kind of stunned me for a few days too. Then I decided to tackle it like a problem to be tackled through logic and reason and have been meticulously following a low carb diet since my diagnosis. My HbA1C results were just a little worse than yours last month and now my average weekly blood sugars after meals for the last week have been about 5.8 mmol/l. It might be even harder for you though to restrict your carbs when you are a vegan since you rely on plant material for so much of your intake. Is there a reason why you don't eat eggs? As a vegetarian for many years because I didn't like causing unnecessary pain to animals I still had regular eggs by raising a half dozen spoiled and pampered chickens in my yard. They had a good life and I had a regular source of many nutrients that are more difficult to get otherwise on a vegan diet. Eggs are low in carbs and moderate in fat and protein and can be a staple part of your diet if you are happy to have 'ethical' eggs. [/QUOTE]
