[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1887779, member: 196898"] Congratulations. You are the first diabetic I have seen on this forum who is actually successfully using WFPB to control their condition. However, I note that you do not give us any clue as to what your readings are, or what your insulin regime is that you also need to keep good control. Are you able to share this info with us to provide some evidence that the diet really is controlling your sugar levels. I say this because as a T2D, I am unable to bolus to cover my food intake, so cannot compensate at all. I have tried vegan recipes as suggested by other wfpb vegans, and find I get the WORST jump in bgl. Last week I had a home made vegan stew, and it made my bgl jump by 10 mmol/l at the 2 hour point, and I was still above 8 mmol.l the next day. I double checked my meters and they confirmed these to be valid measurements. Now last night I had my normal beef stew with butternut squash and aubergine, and my bgl only jumped by 1 mmol/l and dropped back to fasting levels by the 4 hr reading. So I myself do not benefit at all from a wfpb vegan diet, and this is a trend I have experienced when trying WFPB recipes before. I seem to have a whole grain or soy allergy. Whatever, WFPB for me does not help me control my bgl. [/QUOTE]
