[QUOTE="TwoTone, post: 2197380, member: 516838"] Hi walker1178. I have been a T2D for 15 years. Two years ago I stopped eating meat. Since then my HbA1c tests are headed down and I have gradually had my dosage of metformin reduced. I have also increased the quantity of carbs I eat. I still eat eggs and a little cow milk in tea and coffee. Other milk needs are filled by oat milk - for breakfast cereal and custard! Before being diagnosed T2D I was diagnosed with gout. Eating meat increases intake of purines which is metabolized by the body to form uric acid. This is the source of gout. It may also cause other issues with soft tissue. Also, by eliminating meat, I have significantly reduced the protein intake. Overloading on protein has some serious side effects. Please use your favourite search engine to follow up on this. Bottom line, the best thing I've ever done to manage diabetes is to stop eating meat. My current morning BG tests are around 6 mmol/l and last HbA1c was 6.8% tho trend is down. If you are going to give leaving out meat a go, beware of vitamin B12 deficiency - serious stuff and mimics T2D symptoms. Pasta was bad for me too! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
