Diabetic protein sources? Best friend's dad is diabetic, 1 yr vegan, hates vegetables, likes noodles and bagels. Pressure injuries exist. Any suggestions?

Tofu, edamame, soy curls, tvp, and beyond meat products are all very low carb protein options. Legume based pasta isn’t especially low carb but it is made from lentils or chickpeas and is high protein
Not eating veggies will just mean additional health consequences, even a blended veggie soup is better than zero veggies
Thank you
Sounds like he likes carbs. Oats and barley are carby and have a good protein profile.
He should be careful with all those carbs, though.
Thank you
