What are good vegatarian menus for a diabetic?

I am a vegetarian who was recently diagnosed as a type-two diabetic. All of the menus that have been reccommended to me contain either chiken,turkey, or fish.
What can I eat that is consistent both with my vegetarian philosophy and my medical condition?

Tofu, beans, nuts, whole grains.

You don’t need to replace large amounts of carbs with protein (that is an outdated belief) but you do have to practise portion control, moderation (in fat, carb and protein), and eat frequent light meals rather than three heavy ones.
I assume you already know to limit junk food and sugary foods.

There is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener called Stevia that can be used to sweeten any kind of liquid food. Doesn’t work too well for dry desserts like cakes.

What would be one week’s menu for a diabetic man?

I really need a week’s menu for this its for my foods class any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I think it depends on the diabetic and the type of food. I wouldn’t stress too much about it because it will take some detailed food journals and many many many blood test. eventually you will find what works best for you, everybody has their own unique blood chemistry.

My sugars have been within the normal range for the last 2 years w/o medication. I can eat almost anything except: pasta, ice cream… which both cause a spike in my sugars for ~2 days. For the most part everything else in moderation works well for me, but for some reason it doesn’t matter how little I eat of those two foods they still effects my sugar negatively. (It sucked because I used to eat these all the time… 1 gallon of icecream/week and pasta 2-3/week)

What allows me to be normal:
Lost 35 pounds and now I work out 90 minutes a day 5 times a week and I am in very good shape.

Exercise and weight loss if possible are the real cure. Diet is also important, but only one aspect.

What is good daily eating menu for a old Indian diabetic patient? .B/f, lunch, evening & dinner.?

Diabetic since last 25 yrs. Presently on Insulin. Sugar is under control, but would like to have good recepies, veg and non-veg, to change the daily routine of normal food.
