[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1989534, member: 480869"] You can absolutely try this without meds, or give it a **** good go with good chance of achieving your goal of doing it by lifestyle. Cholesterol blood pressure and weight usually improve too. Most of us tackle it with low carb eating. Carbs all turn to glucose and processing glucose is what us type twos do badly. There’s a vegetarian section in these forums I believe. Might be worth a look there. Can I ask your motivation in being vegetarian. Only because some have chosen that believing it will improve their health. Sadly it’s usually very carb heavy and as such not good for type 2’s. It can be made to work if you’re motivation is other, but it is trickier than as a meat eater. I’ll tag [USER=9546]@daisy[/USER] for some welcome information for you and [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] who has good information about low carb but she’s probably not back online til tomorrow. The thread [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today.75781/[/URL] might give you food ideas. Also dietdoctor.com has great info and recipes. Google any food you like with the word keto or low carb and you’ll get adapted recipes of your favourites and lots more sites to explore. Be aware American sites count carbs differently.
