I've left the MSN diabetic groups I'm on and come here. I'm a T2 and have been doing Atkins Maintenance diet the last 8 months without knowing I was. I just did my own research on eating and used my monitor as a guide. My hubby bought Atkin's book and I was amazed. I said this on the "other" diabetic groups and was just about "linched" AND these are all people struggling with hi sugars, cholesterols and tryglicerides. I was too until eating this way. Now they're great. But mention Atkins and those people go nuts.
