Welcome Sue,
You have found a wonderful forum for support and good information to help you on low carb. Look all around, starting with Newbie advice, and Atkins tips, maybe join a buddy group, and don't miss the health forums, including the one on diabetes. http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45
All the best,

[ajsherlock]

Thank you Jey100 for the welcome and the tips

Hello ajsherlock... another forum newbie here. I just re-started low carb today after a hiatus in denial. I am also 54 years old. You are doing the right thing for your diabetes... your doctor will be amazed because most of them think there is no cure :)
