I'm an Atkins refugee. I'm a hypoglycemic, and I'm getting good result with CALP and my blood sugar. I don't weigh proteins, and I eat more protein than "recommended" on CAD, but I'm losing slow but sure. I do watch my RMs -- try to keep them balanced, and have refined sugar about twice a week; usually have fruit instead. For people with "insulin issues," CAD/CALP is not a free-for-all. After your body adapts to CAD/CALP, perhaps you'll be able to eat sweets once in a while, and maybe even reduce your meds.
I love CALP because I've been able to lose weight, get my sugar under better control, and rid myself of cravings. If you get cravings after the first 2 weeks, examine your foods more closely -- there's probably hidden sugar.
