I'm recently diagnosed diabetic so this shit just angers me on multiple levels. Good job, body. Now we have to limit carbs, and all the meat is cruel, guess I'll live on fucking greens and cheese.

Ouch 😅 …at least a (non junk food) vegan diet has been shown to improve people’s diabetes symptoms. If you ever go for it, I hope that ends up being the case with you!

Do beans have a lot of carbs? I genuinely don't know.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

Typically yes, though there are some that are low enough even for people on keto in small amounts.

Yeah, but also fiber, I know some diabetics avoid beans but I don't mind them in chili or whatnot.

I just saw that the american diabetes association has a vegan meal planning guide. Maybe that can help you? =)
