I am a diabetic and i know this way of eating works.I don't have the swing's with my sugar any longer,way up,then dropping too low,i don't fall asleep if i set for too long like i used to because my sugar was up,i don't get the shake's any longer because was my sugar was too low.I am so much more alert,calmer and happier.I don't think about food,could care less about sweets,the scale is going down,the measuring tape is getting smaller.
My mom died because of complications of her diabetetes,i watched her suffer,watched her eat the way they told her to,give herself shot's and watched her die.I will not let that happen to me.I ate the way i was told to and my sugar was never in control,i felt terrible and gained weight.
Didn't mean to type so much!

Hi Lilacblossom,
Welcome to LCE! My sister is diabetic and the low carb lifestyle has been great for her. She is really feeling much better. As always, discuss this with your physician, it's really important that he/she know you are eating the LC way.

Best wishes! Drop by the forum often for encouragement.
