I think the medical community is quite split. I was fortunate enough to find a doctor (by pure chance) who had treated many diabetic patients and had done so by lowering the carb levels in their diets. He actually recommended me to go to Atkins to see how it worked for me. It has been almost 3 months, so I'm keen to see the results of my blood work up due in a couple of weeks.

Its up to you to make the decision, and none of us are doctors, however, I can only tell you from personal experience that my fasting blood sugar level has dropped from 17.5 to 7.5 following Atkins. Weight loss is the best thing for diabetics. Atkins will help you lose weight.
