Fozzy,

Way to stick to your guns. I've been a Type 1 diabetic for 18 years, and I have heard that 100 carbs a day "rule" more than once. I have also heard from doctors that restricting carbs and losing weight will decrease the stress on your pancreas, allowing you to live longer and healthier. It all depends on where a medical "professional" went to school and what his/her instructors believed.

It only makes sense that if you eat a tone of carbs at a meal, you will have to work harder to lower your blood sugar. I know for a fact that when I'm followng Atkins and eating fewer carbs, my blood sugar stays in better control, I feel better, and I use less insulin.

Keep at it!
