I am Type 2 and am having trouble understanding why your A1C is 14 - are you on medication for diabetes or is it just unhealthy eating that got it up to 14? When I was diagnosed mine wasn't that high, but when my husband was diagnosed he was up there - he had triple bypass 3 years ago, 2 stents implanted 2 years ago and a ICD (difibulator) installed last year.

Make sure your cardiologist and endocrinologist know you are on Atkins we state over and over that we don't have enough medical knowledge to diagnose anyone. My husband's doctors told him to get on an exercise program, watch your foods and drink plenty of water, you will start loosing and seeing improvements in the diabetes and how much easier your heart is working soon.

I wish you luck on your weight loss.
