I am on Atkins, and if I stay at 20-30 carbs a day, I'm OK. I don't do net carbs because it messes me up. I like Dr. Bernstein's books, but he is type I. However the same principle applies. My FBS this am was 110....but mid afternoon yesterday was 87. Bedtime was 92. I absolutely can't follow the ADA diet. No way, no how!! Neither do I do the low carb products, even the Atkins line.
I don't visit the diabetic forum often, but I have been diabetic for several years, and usually need more support to stick to LC then anything else. BTW, my doctor told me "We have decided that LC is the way to go!" Meaning for diabetes as well as weight loss.
Good luck, Ruth
PS: I would use one of Dr. Atkins books that he actually wrote! The new one was written after his death, and allows too many carbs for me!!! I like the '72 version, but his later one is more up to date, and uses more of the ingredients found today. JMHO.
