Hi I'm new to the forums and on day one of Atkins. I've posted in the TDC Club and the Fibrolmyalgia forum too. I've been type II for about 15 years and have never been under "good" control. Last two hgA1C readings were 7.0. Not bad considering my 13.1 about 10 years ago. I'm on Glucovance (100mg/1000mg 2Xday) and Avandia (4mg 2Xday), tried quite a few different insulins but my fasting sugars went well over 300 on insulin. I found out from my doctor and a couple friends that this is an uncommon reaction in some people. So basically I'm maxed out on my oral meds and can't take insulin and have to get very serious about the weight now. Curious about information on Dr. Bernstein and any help I can get here.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and getting healthier together!
