I am a Type 2 diabetic and have been diagnosed since May 15 of this year. I tried the American Diabetes Diet and did not find my blood sugars going down very fast at all. I think it has to many carbs in it. I also did South Beach and did loose some weight in the beginning and also thought it allowed way to many carbs.
I came across the Atkins Diabetic Revolution written in 2005. I know the lady who helped write this worked with Dr. Atkins and also has a weight problem. I need some of your expert advise from this board if I should order the book and try this. I do have my fasting blood sugar values between 98 and 113 depending what I eat. I need to loose the rest of my weight and to stop the tingling feeling in my feet. I have read this could help, lower my triglycerides and blood sugars.
Please help. My dietician will speak of nothing about Atikns nor my doctor. It is the same retoric you get from the professionals. I am in good health other then the type 2 diabetes. I also exercise to Walking Away the pounds and weight lift. Also, how are you feeling on your Atkins way of living?
Thank you for your help and any suggestion would so be appreciated from this newbie.
