She told me he has had a terrible time converting their traditional vegetarian diet to something more carb-friendly. The staple foods like rice, potatoes and lentils shoot his blood sugar through the roof. They have substituted sweet potatoes for white potatoes with some success (more fiber). I have also seen some low carb cookbooks that use cauliflower florets to make a rice-like dish. <br />Soy products, at least, are protein-based (don't break down into carbs). I've had a few good experiments with silken tofu mixed up into a pudding dessert. <br /><br />I guess I would just Google the term vegetarian diabetic and see what comes up. It's a hard way to eat, that's for sure.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-26163350047437764232006-09-02T12:13:00.000-05:002006-09-02T12:13:00.000-05:00Have you come across any cookbooks, websites, etc....Have you come across any cookbooks, websites, etc. on cooking for vegetarian diabetics?
