Fozzy,
I wish I knew more about this than I do. You need to read and reread the book where Dr. Atkins writes about the benefits....perhaps even eradicating the diabetes. Take everything the "pros" say to you with a grain of salt. Hang in there. You're doing waaaaaay more for improving your condition than a diabetic who runs in circles trying to follow all instructions and still is dependent on meds or insulin. What you've chosen, this WOE, is tougher than laying down and accepting the diagnosis as a sentence of some sort. You're doing the most drastic, bravest thing you can do. You're not someone else's speed bump. DON'T let any of the pros run over you!!
Time will tell. Don't stress too much...as that too affects weight loss. Promise yourself you'll relax and let your WOE speak for itself for a few weeks. Go back and look at it as often as you need to but don't let it dictate your moods or your life. I have the feeling everything is going to work out for you. Hang in there!
