Vegetarian diabetic recipes

A vegetarian diabetic diet including a wide range of different foods like potatoes, lentils and beans, wholemeal bread etc is a very good base to start with. Instead of the "normal" calorie counting, you will need to start counting carbs with the aim to make sure you get enough carbohydrates - ideally more than 50% - in your food. There has been reports on improvements from diabetics using a vegetarian diet - even to an extent where they could start injecting less insulin. It works well as a type 2 diabetes diet.

A good vegetarian cook book - is a good start, you will still need to "count carbs" but it will be much easier in your meal planning and when creating diabetic diets.
