[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 450663, member: 89325"] I have been veggie pretty much all my life, then in the last three months or so, vegan - like you because of dairy intolerance mostly. My blood sugars are much better but the key for me was switching what foods I ate, rather than being veggie or not (as I always was). I have always been on the slim side - bmi always around 22 - but I did eat predominantly carbs prior to diagnosis - so from a diabetic perspective wasn't a very 'sugar friendly' vegetarian - which meant I was around 18 fasting at diagnosis. I'm now around 6. I should also mention I am mostly eating raw - and low carb; both of which have had a good effect on my blood sugars - but which I am still unsure about long term as its so very restrictive. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
