Diabetic Recipes
I have a relative who has been recently diagnosed as being diabetic (type 2, i believe). So, I need some diabetic recipes (or recipe sites) suitable for a vegetarian/ vegan diet.
If I can google for it, so can you.

Answer: Some excellent low carb, high protein foods include tempeh, textured soy protein (TSP, also known as textured vegetable protein or textured soy protein), seitan (wheat gluten), seeds, nuts, edamame and other beans and legumes. Tempeh, TSP (textured soy protein) and whole beans are especially great because they are also high in fiber. You may want to try lettuce wraps. Saute some tempeh strips and vegetables like onions, peppers, zucchini and mushrooms, and wrap them up in lettuce leaves. Seitan also works very well with lettuce wraps. You can make a terrific chili with TSP (textured soy protein), pinto beans, tomatoes, onions and peppers. Edamame can be eaten on its own as an appetizer, or a between meal snack. Salads are wonderful when topped with garbanzo beans, aisins, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. These are just a few examples of ways eat more vegetable proteins while lowering carb intake. I am not aware of a specific cookbook that focuses on a vegan diet for diabetics. However, you may want to go to http://www.diabetic-lifestyle.com/ for recipes, cookbooks and practical information about managing diabetes. You may need to be creative in your cooking and learn how to substitute lower carbohydrate foods for higher ones, and increase your consumption of vegetable proteins while still maintaining a balanced diet.
a Vegan diet is supposed to be good for diabetics
remember the glycemic index. Good luck

‘diabetic’ recipes are recipes for healthy food.
these are low in fat, high in fibre, and vegetarian food is perfect for diabetics as it is very healthy.
now there is a HUGH difference between vegans and vegetarians so you must make sure you know what she prefers!!
as a vegetarian person with diabetes, i like to make grilled haloumi (hard cheese) with spinach salad (spinach leaves, cucumber bits, tomato bits, avocado bits, pan fried pine nuts -just throw in pan without oil and fry for 2 minutes until brown- and boccocini cheese toss with balsamic vinegar).
you could grill large bits of red pepper (no oil needed really) and grill fresh asperagus, toss in a little olive oil with salt and pepper and dried parsley. i also like to grill large mushrooms (whole and no oil) and i eat it with a variety of bread rolls or brown pitta bread or so.
good luck and enjoy
