Melissa,

I agree with Lisa. I think that you should read "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution". Following his plan took my morning fasting blood sugars from 310 to 130 in only about a month. (And its been slowly dropping from there.) That's with no medication whatsoever.

I've recently moved and when I get a new doctor, I'm going to have to tell him or her that I'm a diabetic. Thanks to low carbing, a standard blood test or even an HBA1c isn't going to show it. But, I'm still definitely a diabetic because my blood sugar zooms if I eat anything carby. The surprising thing is that I don't miss the carbs--feeling really good physically for the first time in years is so much more fun!

Good luck, Melissa!
