Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="lessci" data-source="post: 2207535" data-attributes="member: 74756"><p>I can't comment of Vegan but main of us find a Low Carbohydrate, Healthy Fat (LCHF) diet is the best way to control our diabetes, this means no grains, potatoes, rice, pasta, minimal root veg, and pulses plenty of healthy fats (no seed oils or hydrogenated fats such as margarine) and a moderate amount of protein, I understand that Vegan low carb is possible, but difficult, vegetarian is easier as cheese, eggs and double cream are a mainstay of even those of us who are omnivores and carnivores.  a Blood Glucose monitor is a must, how do you know how a food affects your BG if you can test?  It's like driving a car with no speedo, then complained when you get points for being over the speed limit.  If your self funding 2 to look at are the Tee2 or CodeFree, the expense is the testing strips and both are reasonable (and I believe offer bulk buy discounts) and don't forget to tick the I'm a  diabetic box as you get them VAT free.  I've not had problems with Metformin, but they can cause toilet problems for some, there is a Slow release version if this happens to you, but sometimes even this doesn't help and alternative medications can be used.  You can put your Diabetes into remission, there are many on the forum who have, finally remenber that this is a marathon, not a sprint and you will have good days and bad days.  We're all there for each other, even if you only need to vent or rant</p></blockquote><p></p>
