[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1111235, member: 138639"] Hey! I am type 1 and have been a vegetarian for the past 12 years now (pescicatarian on and off - meaning there are times when i ate seafood only). My sister who is also Type 1, after experiencing some diabetes related complications became full vegan about 4 or 5 years ago and within a couple months she found all of her problems went away and has stuck with it. I think (my opinion only) that vegan/vegetarianism is just about the best choice for humans in general (this is not the place for that discussion though). I fully support you and think if you want to give it a go you will need to adjust your ratios and basal and there will be a transition period with some unpredictability where you become more adventurous - but it seems like you've pretty much nailed it already nailed it so far! As far as health wise you will still need to maintain protein intake and other macro nutrients but there is no reason why you can't do it, it just takes some learning and eventually it becomes the natural way you eat. You got this, if you want to do it there is no reason why you can't do a trial month. Don't worry about labeling it as 'vegan' just find a diet that YOU are happy with - if that means 'vegan' but every now and then you take whey protein powder then thats fine, its what YOU need - forget about the labels and just do whatever makes you happy. It is not uncommon to use have a slow transition from veg to vegan - as it can take some time to balance everything safely. If you need to chat you can send me a message I'd be more then happy to help if i can. [/QUOTE]
