Diabetes Talking

Question:

Hi all, I have been reading the posts for about two weeks now and sure do enjoy all the support you give one another. Myra, congratulations on your achievements and sharing all the recipes I am anxious to try your cheese cake someday. I have been doing Atkins since July 21, 2002 and LOVE it…although I am not one of those people who the pounds melt off LOL LOL…The first 14 days I lost 7 pounds and was very happy. All my cravings have gone and I have more energy but the best thing is my sugar reading are WONDERFUL. I am a diabetic type 2 on insulin. My insulin levels have been cut right in HALF…..I can not believe how great all my reading are since being on this program. The month before I started this WOE I was doing "Fit For Life," I had done that years ago with great success but now with the diabetes it was terrible, my sugar ranged from 64 to 312 and I just couldn’t get control of it. I stayed on it for 2 weeks, lost 7 lbs and heard a special program on TV about Low-Fat diets making America FAT….the last thing I heard was "maybe Atkins wasn’t so wrong after all" and that did it! I went to the website ordered the book and then found everything I needed to get started right online so I started it the next day. I am still excited about this, I lose about 2lbs a week and a couple of weeks nothing at all. I am staying on induction until I get close to my goal weight as I have a lot to lose. Anyway, I am thrilled to have found this group and hope I can share my success as I go along. — Later Donna in FL Started Atkins 7/21/02 246/232/140

Hi Donna,     Welcome to the group! You and I have a few similarities. I was dx with type 2 diabetes 7/18/02 and am overweight. I started low carbing (although not as low as Atkins), right after diagnosis. Since then I have lost 26 pounds and feeling better everyday.  Good luck with your new WOE and keep up the good work!
