Vegetarians?

[Marnixvdb]

Since you should be careful with carbs (as you are diabetic) I would never become total vegan. A lot of the diet-replacements for meat (rice, beans, grains, etc) are rich in carbohydrates by nature.

Remember that you need to combine different protein-sources in one meal, if they are not coming from animals. The body takes in protein coming from plants much less efficient. You should be able to find enough info on that if you research on vegetarian diets.

I gave up my vegetarian diet after being diagnosed diabetic since it would complicate my diet enormously. Therefore, for you I'd say scrap (most of) the meat, but keep the fish and dairy products in there.
