I know almost nothing about vegetarian or vegan diets....but the thing that has helped me most in literally a decade, is to increase my lean protein, legume and healthy fat (olives, olive oil and avocado) consumption. It dramatically reduced my carb cravings and consumption....and my A1c is down to 5.9

Wishing you both the best....and keep us posted.
