[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2095465, member: 401801"] Hi Sulla, I'm going to assume, for the sake of arguement, that you're a T2 rather than any other type, though your progression [I]is[/I] rather rapid... But a veg-only diet is often very, very carb-heavy and since you're asking about muesli, I have a feeling your carb intake is currently sky-high. From what I understand it is do-able, to some extent, to go vegan/vegetarian and low carb, (this forum has an entire vegan/vegetarian diet bit, you might want to check it out [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/vegetarian-diet-forum.71/[/URL] ), but it's not easy.
