Hi everyone

I've been T2 for 26 years, on insulin and well controlled. Mostly a low carb diet but I've now decided to go veggie. I'm just looking for a few recipes please. I want to remain low carb but want to be healthy. Cheers x
 
I had a daughter went veggie when she was still at school
Veggie right at the point I'd stocked my small holding with pigs ducks chickens geese goats ..... with a view to sticking a fork in them.

I had my annual review in December and all my results have been lower including Cholesterol Blood fats down from 5.4 to 3.1, HbA1c down from 7.7 to 6.5 and Blood Pressure down 139/87 to 128/80. I've also lost 3Kgs too. My Diabetes nurse was impressed and asked if I was the same person, my reply............I've given up meat! Simple's. You eat your greens and plenty of fruit and most importantly keep an eye on your Blood Sugar AT ALL TIMES! Just think about how discusting a bigmac looks when you take a bite, all that juice and fat dripping. I'm sorry meat freaks, I use to like eating it but it just doesn't turn me on. Look at a fresh bowl of green beans or garden peas it's full of goodness. But don't tempt me with a crispy bacon sarnie in wholemeal bread coz I might just crumble, mmmmmm.
