After four weeks, I suggest you review those and consider following a diet plan specific for diabetes. Bernstein, Westman, Fung, etc. Read back through the threads on the Diabetes forum, there are many good videos and links there, feel free to ask questions on any of them, it will bump up the thread to the top and members will answer.

I've read a lot from Dr. Westman and enjoy being on the Atkins plan. My a1c went from a 9.6 to a 5.8 since I've been on Atkins for a month. My blood pressure averages around 115/75 so far so good. But it really frustrates me not to lose all but 3 pounds in a month, an I don't frazzle, I'm a retired Air Traffic Controller from Kennedy international airport.
