We all seem to be in the same situation(boat). My bs has substantialy come down from 200-300. It is now 90-120. I am also on Metformin 1000 2x a day, glyburide (which the Dr. reduced) and 28 units of Insulin down from 34-36 units of lantus. I have A-fib, diabetes 2, Osteoarthritis (major) good things do happen when I am on Atkin. After my last AlC my bs went from 7.7 to 5.8. I stick to the low carbs and do not go off for any reason. My desserts are sugar free cheese cake or ice cream with 1 oz of cream and a little water frozen. I do use Splenda and a drop of vanilla. I have come to love the diet even though I miss all the goodies. I have done Atkins twice and this time my weight loss has slowed down considerably but my diabetes has really come to a point that I can see the end of the tunnel. I hope all are well and continue to have confidence in this diet. I am surely going to give it my best. My weight has only dropped 14 pounds in 4 months but I am happy how I feel. Audrey
