Hi there Slotiper,
Diabetics need to avoid ketoacidosis, which is quite different from ketosis.
This thread explains the difference.
Slotiper, are you insulin dependent? If you are you should only follow this eating plan under the guidance of your doctor. Reread the sections of the book where Dr Atkins specifically mentions diabetes.
I would also strongly recommend you read Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. He is a diabetic himself and his low carb plan is written specifically for diabetics.
We have quite a few diabetics here, including LisaN, another mentor, who is losing weight very well indeed.
All the best to you!
