I'd take it one step at a time, get off all meds first. That may take a while as you have been diabetic for 15 years and have not had good control. Then when you have achieved your goals, you can start testing to add those foods. You have complete control to determine what will work for YOU...your BG meter. It doesn't measure insulin, but it is a method to find out what foods may be added back later. Maybe it would help you wrap your head around this if you look at our yummy LC recipes. A zillion pizza recipes...on a base of meat, chicken, "pizza quiche", wheat belly crust (almond flour, cheese etc) and just as many recipes to make "pasta"..spiralizer zucchinis or Zoodles, lasagna with all vegetable sheets, etc.

JEH100, Julia R and MickiSue; Thanks again.
I'm strongly going after the Wheat Belly program you suggested.
Makes a lot of sense. I'll add Atkins' rules as best I can.
