[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2055281, member: 475037"] Generally vegetarians, especially longer term vegetarians eat healthy and are not as likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Study [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2671114/[/URL] But it's important to note that it was a "healthy" vegetarian diet, more on that on the next link. "A shift to a dietary pattern higher in healthful plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and lower in animal-based foods, especially red and processed meats, can confer substantial health benefits in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes." Study [URL]https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/310953.php[/URL] So it might just be some tweaks that are needed to change what you eat. It might be genetics played a part. maybe you will have to get even stricter by how you eat. You will have to experiment and see what works for you. I suggest one of the most important things is a CGM so you can tell what your blood sugars are doing.. .
