Anyone have experience as diabetic going vegetarian or vegan?!


Question: Anyone have experience as diabetic going vegetarian or vegan?
I'm 30 year old woman who is a diabetic. I'm looking at becoming a vegetarian or vegan and was wondering if any other diabetics had tried and been successful at this diet and how it affected your blood sugar levels.

I had to go to the emergency room since I was about to die.

I didn't go vegetarian or vegan as a diabetic; I have been vegetarian most of my life and vegan for almost 16 years, and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago.

My diabetes is very well-controlled by diet alone.

I have no experience as a meat-eating diabetic.
