Hi DebdaCajun,

I am diabetic. The main reason I started the Atkins plan was due to the medication my doctor put me on was not controling my blood sugar. My weight was going up and my blood sugar was high no matter how closely I followed the ADA meal plans. I knew I had to do something and when I read the Atkins Diet Revolution, it made sense. As of today, I am no longer taking any of the diabetes medication and my blood sugar averages around 95 to 105 a day. I no longer feel that I am starving and I have more energy than I've had for a long time.

Even though I now live in North Carolina, I am from Rapides Parish.
