Veganism

I've been eating a vegan diet since 2001, having been diagnosed in 1961. During those two periods (without taking into consideration changes in insulin sources and other factors like CGM), I find that my overall control has improved. I take a daily dose of approx 12u of Humalog and 6 units of Levemir. I hope this might help you.

My late wife was Vegan. We ate Vegan all the time. Thing about meat tainting cutlery, crockery and pans. I had no problem with the food - meat is mainly protein and fats. However, getting sufficient protein is a bit difficult - we found mushrooms and fungi good. But it is worth getting familiar with Vegan cookbooks where various menus are given to help. We used to have milk, cheese and yogurts. But strict vegans will reject dairy. Good luck.

I wonder how many of you have checked whether your medication is vegan. You might be surprised, and its not your doctor or pharmacist to tell you whether they are.

The OP is T1.

On the presumption of the particular meds involved.
Modern insulins are both Kosher & vegan..
