My sister-in-law has diabetes, and her doctor told her emphatically to stay away from Atkins. I think she need a new doctor.

I think so, too.

My doctor put me on low carb, and I only see doctors who are supportive of it. Fortunately, these days, more and more docs are coming around.

My sister-in-law has diabetes, and her doctor told her emphatically to stay away from Atkins. I think she need a new doctor.

My doctor tried to put me on a high carb, low fat diet to control my gestational diabetes. I was supposed to start the day out with high glycemic fruit, cereal and skim milk. To keep my blood sugar down??? Excuse me??? Fortunately I knew that would be the worst thing I could do, so I cut out refined carbs, watched my quantities of carbs from grains and fruit and ate all the fat, protein and vegetables I wanted to.

My blood sugar levels amazed her, and I became her star patient. I am not exaggerating when I say they amazed her. I got the feeling that I was one of the few OB patients in her office that don't end up on insulin, and it was due to my rejecting her advice!
