Oddly enough this doesn't surprise me at all. My wife has been a type one diabetic for 25 years + and quite a few years ago now she was in for her regular interviews and they put her on a "carbohydrate counting diet"! She picked up a book on carb counts as well as glycemic index counts and has eaten this way ever since. They had her eating something like 30 to 50 grams of carbs per meal and leaning to food that had a better glycemic rating. What diet does this sound most like? (If I didn't have a serious addition to refined grains and sugar I would likely be doing SB rather than Atkins.)
