The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Literally any whole grain paired with literally any legume. The combination gives you every essential amino acid in protein. Popcorn and baked beans is a meat replacement.

i'm going to give this a try and see if my glucose monitor goes off from all the carbohydrates; i hope it works because this is the only thing holding me back and ty for making me aware.

I was diagnosed with prediabetes in my late 30s and I followed the precursor to this program https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/book/ along with the work of PCRM to get it under control with a vegan diet and its been 8 years now, I'm in my mid 40s now and its all under control for me. I get it that different people are different and I don't really know anything about type 1, but this really worked for me and I can't sing its praises enough, it really totally changed my life.
