Now I have some responses for when people tell me they could " never be vegetarian since I'm diabetic " . It's just another excuse to eat meat. BTW, I agree with Nikki....I like the fact that my blood type (A) agrees with the blood type diet, but I don't necessarily buy into it. I think it's healthy to check out different theories and ideas and question your own beliefs to make sure they are the beliefs you want to have.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Just curious, is a lacto-ovo diet better than a vegan diet for diabetics and if so why? It would seem to me that vegan diet would be desirable because dairy and eggs are very high in protein and higher in saturated fat than most vegetable oils. But, my knowledge of diabetes is very limited so perhaps I am missing something... > > I am diabetic and lacto-ovo vegetarian and it is the best diet for this > condition.
