I am so confused, as to how somebody (me ) could eat lowcarb for many years, but still become a Diabetic.

Now you've got me scared. I've thought that Atkins is what saved me from the curse that is diabetes that has hounded my mother's side of the family for generations. Makes me think that there are other factors other than diet that I haven't considered.

Back in 2003, before I started Atkins, I was prediabetic. For many years, Atkins had kept my bg levels at a normal level. I don't know what happened to make it suddenly go whacky.

I'd like to know too. At first I thought that you're like my mom. Unlike most people, some types of meat make her BG shoot up. You might want to test which low-carb foods do that to you. Different foods affect different diabetics in different ways, which is why the much vaunted glycemic index is useless for diabetics.
