Just an observation. If you're a diabetic on medication and eating low carb, I would personally recommend working closely with your doctor and/or dietician to adjust your medication needs as you go. Unless you've been doing it for a long time, you should never adjust your meds without talking with your doctor first. Insulin dependent diabetics may be the exception because they are used to adjusting their medications daily, but even they should consider consulting with their doctors because this way of eating is drastically different from the standard diabetic diet that most medication schedules are tailored to. People are unique and react differently to low carbing; some people's medication needs decrease dramatically, some only a little. Also...if your doctor is not "low carb friendly", I'd really recommend finding one who is; it makes this whole process a lot easier if you don't have to fight the medical establishment while you are fighting your metabolism!
