You have already received such great advice here.

My experience .. for what it is worth... is that Atkins has helped me significantly reduce my blood sugar levels, my mood is stable, and my tiredness alleviated. I am also on metform which i find helps a lot with weight loss on low carb (but not weight loss on the diabetic diet). The diabetic diet did help my blood sugar levels, but not enough, and i found it hard to stick with, and would end up losing it and going on binges of sweets.
