Since your mom is already diagnosed Type II, I assume she has gotten a do-it-yourself blood sugar test kit. Put her on Atkins and monitor her blood sugar closely. I was never actually diagnosed Type II although I suspect I probably am, but my daughter has been diagnosed and we share her test kit. My blood sugar has fallen from 134 (fasting) to 87 (fasting). Her blood sugar has fallen some as well, by the way. My blood pressure was around 134/85 and today it was 123/75.
