Have you tried getting on regimen of supplements that are known to help regulate blood sugar? I know that GTF Chromium is highly recommended.... 200 mg/before each meal (3-4x/day) and perhaps glutamine (?) I'd be happy to research for you. It's probably worth a shot. Apparently the older we get, the more help we need from supplements.

I'm taking doses of chromium for that reason right now too.... they say to take it for 6-8 weeks before its effects are fully apparent.

[edit: I did a quick search on the Atkins website and he actually has a supplement just for "blood sugar".... here's the link .]
