Can Diabetics Be Vegans

What to eat if have diabetes and are a vegetarian?

First, I will confess that I am not a vegetarian, but really enjoy many vegetarian meals i.e. rice and beans, lentils and rice with fried onions, etc. However, I can’t really eat that many carbs and maintain my blood sugars. So somebody please tell me what to vegan/vegetarian diabetics eat!! TIA
I have actually already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and my nutritionist suggested adding ground chicken or turkey to the meals to make it fewer carbs. This is not an option I am happy with. I really can’t tolerate the carbs and maintain my blood sugars. Realistically this is the diet I was on before my diagnosis, and I was 404 random and 303 fasting. So trust me it didn’t help prevent my diabetes or bring down my blood sugars!
Oh, and I was eating brown rice!

It’s tough to eat veggie and be diabetic, but here are some lower-carb foods to focus on:

Tofu (grilled, fried, or with soy sauce)
Cheese (watch the fat!)
Beans and lentils (they have carbs but the high fiber negates some of that)
Green vegetables
Fruits in moderation
Whole-grain breads (whole wheat, rye)
Low-carb tortillas & wraps
Hummus
Salsa & guacamole
Lean meats like she suggested if you’re willing to eat them

* Minimize starchy foods like rice, corn, potatoes, pastas (1/2 cup is fine)
