[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2635265, member: 401801"] A low carb diet is hard enough for a nurse to peddle (and way too few of them do), adjusting it for vegans or vegetarians must seem incomprehensible to them. ;) Mind you, I keep thinking it is next to impossible because I have issues with certain foods (trigger/aggravate other conditions), but I have been assured on here, repeatedly, that it can indeed be done. You just have to really, really know what you're eating, and test your heart out. But that's true no matter what diet you choose to follow within this whole diabetes circus... Test, and see what works for you. Anything low carb (above ground veg, avocado's, and soy things are usually alright, I think quorn too... Shrooms, most but not all nuts etc... I adore my daily coconut yog! Pulses are a no-go for me, but they might be fine for you. Again, worth testing!). It's easier if you can bulk up your meals with animal fats and protein, I think... But if you can manage without those, still eat a balanced meal with everything in there you need far as micro and macro nutrients go, or know what to supplement for... I don't know if you're on metformin, or will be on it, but that'll make your B12 plummett, so something to be mindful of should you get on that. I do hope you'll get to go back to the nurse with excellent numbers and tell him "Ha! See what I did there!?". Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
