Any vegetarians here?

Anyone other diabetic T2 vegetarians on here? I'm looking for mfp friends. I've been on MFP about a year, have lost almost 40 lbs with another 50 or so to go (wasn't actively losing for 6 months-winter blues), brought my A1C down by 3 pts (8.9 to 6.1 in April). I keep my carb macro at 50% (OK'd by my dietician from the diabetes clinic) and am able to regulate my sugars really well as long as I'm careful and consistent with exercise. My goal is to get off of oral meds & never have to use insulin.

I'd love to have more MFP friends who abstain or limit their meat intake.

Also just looking for more friends in general :)

So anyone feel free to add me.

I'm lacto-ova veg.

Looking forward to making new friends :)

    Hi. I was veg but have added small amounts of meat to get more protein. Have been confused /concerned about carb counts in beans and vegetarian protein alternatives. Would love to get meal ideas.

    I am down 35 with 50 to go.
