Why didn't I try keto earlier? My numbers are so level now!

@sam Tell me how it goes for you! I'm vegetarian and frankly addicted to sugar (I know) so I'm scared to try a keto diet. Do you think it can work out for someone who doesn't eat fish/meat?

@Sparrow I'm not doing full keto, just relatively low-carb with many keto recipes, but have heard of diabetics doing it. I was a semi-vegetarian (seldom ate meat) before, but have been eating meat the last week to give myself more options. I might settle back into meatless stuff when I discover what works for me. I know there is /r/vegetarianketo/ . I think you have to really like eggs to do veggie keto.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, my plan is to do pretty much the same, use keto recipes to give me more low-carb options.
I found a website for low-carb vegan eating, so I figured I could combine recipes from that site, vegetarian keto recipes, and other high-plant, low-carb recipes for a more balanced (less eggy) diet.
My goal is to eat less than 156 carbs/day, so I can take the same amounts of fast-acting insulin as my long-acting prescription.

@Sparrow Good luck! Yeah, that sounds like a good plan for a balanced diet.
