I have not been on for awhile. I had to stop the Atkins diet. I was in the hospital with kidney problems. I will not be able to go back on the diet but I would still like to check in as I love talking to everyone and I really like the support I get on this site. My creatinine jumped up and I am spilling protein. I have had alot of pain. I will need a bunch of tests to determine the extent of the damage. Diabetes really sucks!
