Hi Robb,
There are other diets besides Atkins one could follow that would help
stabalize diabetes. Example: Years back when I was at the Hippocrates
Institute in Boston (now in Florida), I met a married couple who were there
on account of the husband's cancer. As they were following the diet, the
wife who had diabetes found that she had to steadily decrease the amount of
insulin she was taking. Without a high carb diet, the insulin wasn't needed
as much. The Hippocrates diet is a raw vegetarian one.
I have an excellent low carb diet book by Diana Schwarzbein, MD. The two
diets she outlines (one meat-based, one vegetarian) are balanced and easy to
follow. It takes a little "carb counting" at first to get used to things,
but it only took me one week of counting before I was able to eye-ball
things and know how many carbs I was getting.
A friend of mine of over 30 years developed diabetes a few years ago. She
is following some sort of low carb diet but I don't know which one (I could
find out though). She actually started the diet in order to lose weight and
lower her high blood pressure, both of which she has suceeded in doing.
Almost as a by-product of the diet she found her diabetes stabalizing. I
don't know the particulars of her "disease" as we no longer live in the same
city and write only infrequently, but I know she's doing much, much better.
Btw, it's not uncommon for kibble-fed housecats to develop diabetes. In a
newly diagnosed cat, it *is* possible to turn around the condition by
supporting the pancreas and other organs with "glandulars" from Standard
Process for example, and by feeding a meat-based low-carb diet. Cats are,
after all, obligate carnivores. In fact, if I were diabetic I too would
take these glandulars (eg: Pancreatrophin), and follow a low carb diet of
course. Seek out a good naturopath in your area.
all the best,
Elle

I'm not sure what good advice you are talking about.........I can't go on
the atkins diet anyway........I WON"T live on meat and cheese.....and there
is NOTHING else on the diet that I like........Atkins would finish ruining
my health.......There is a similar discussion on another group......about
the Hallalujah diet.....which by the way is the most hideous diet I have
ever seen........I'm sure there aren't many that could stick to that
diet.......and if they did it wouldn't be living .......it would be
hell........Robb
