I was dx'ed October 2006. Type 2...40 years old.
Was on Metformin and glimberide prior to starting Atkins a little more than a month ago and I am on no meds for most of this month now! Hooray! My average blood sugar reading is 96- 108 2 hours after I eat!!!!!! Much better than 270-450 and that was on meds!!!! I love what Atkins does for my diabetes...cannot wait to do a full 3 month A1c test!!!!!!!!!!
PS...Diabetes is in every one of the last 4 generations of our family...not sure prior to that!!! I hope it changes for my kids and granddaughters sake!
