Hi, Would like to ask a question of Mike D....I have diabetes and also hyperlipidemia...My children have been wondering if I might have sleep apnea as well; I have some symptoms of it...Can a diabetic go on the carbyhydrate diet?..I have been researching this and found that some have an issue with diabetics going on the carbohydrate diet as it causes too much protein for the kidneys to handle...This isn't something that you can ask your doctor about as they only advocate the diabetic exchange diet..I have been checking this out because I feel that the carbohydrate diet is something that would help me...However, kinda makes me wonder if I should as I don't want to damage my kidneys further..It is a controversial issue it seems...Any and all help needed....TIA, Mary Anna
