I'm just found out I am diabetic and have had success on The Zone Diet years ago. It is good for diabetics also. I have read that the Atkins diet is good also.
I'm really just interested in people's experience with what works for you, if you follow a certain type of diet.
Subtle form of bumping. I follow my diabetic educator's advice and plans. All hospitals have them, most insurance covers it, ask your doctor for a referral.

Gee, thanks for the tip. But I'm sure there are others who might do differently than what their "educator" might tell them. Some might not even have one.
I'm a type 2 diabetic who follows the Atkins diet. I used to take insulin but was off of it within 3 weeks of starting Atkins. My doctor has been very pleased with my results so far.
I personally think low carb diets are great for type 2 diabetics. I'm not sure about type 1 diabetics since they require insulin no matter what.

Smart move.
Low Carb is the real "cure" for most Type 2's.....many are so addicted to carbs and their old way of eating....refuse to take this cure.

I read a history article once about type I diabetes and what it took to get insulin on the market and they talked about that a bit. Apparently they were able to keep diabetics alive for some time by keeping them on an extreme Atkins induction type program before insulin came on the market. Non-compliance was the biggest problem of course b/c you could never cheat ever, but it was possible. Yeah and the biggest problem was that they had trouble keeping their weight up--they got very thin, but they lived. My dad got dx'ed with type I diabetes about 10-15 years after insulin began to be sold--he was 13 and had just recovered from a flu bug that was killing a lot of people. (Not the 1918 epidemic though)
I follow Dr Richard K Bernstein's diet recommendations. Quite similar to Atkins in that it's very low carb. I was very strict with this diet for about 2 years following my Type 2 diagnosis and got my A1c down to 5.8. Then I gradually added a few more carbs (sprouted grain bread, Atkins bars occasionally, etc) and I'm handling those very well.
A diet lower in carbs is key to helping control Type 2, no matter which diet it is. Since every diabetic is different in the amount of carbs we can eat without spiking, it's important to check our blood sugar often.
