My doctor gave me some antibiotics since I have been fighting a yeast infection. It was going away but too slowly. The major problem with high blood sugars is consistent issues with yeast infections. It is a vicious cycle. (Atkins goes into great detail about yeast infections and how they are directly related to food allergies, carb allergies.) She said sometimes the only way to get rid of the yeast infection is through medication but she strongly suggested I stick with my eating plan too.
I am starting to feel better. I am finally getting away from the bad carbs and have not had any for 3 days. I am not as tired and my blood sugars are dropping. I told Dr. Vernon about the website and she thought that was great. She said that she is used to dealing with the negative feedback about Atkins, but she says she has the studies and research not to mention all the patients she has helped with this eating plan that proves it works. This way of eating is a bona fide CURE for type 2 diabetes. She has helped many type 2 diabetics get off all medications and lead an insulin shot free life.
For all you diabetics out there,I know for a fact from losing the weight before and seeing the dramatic effects on my blood sugar, my lipids, my good hdl and bad hdl that this way of life works. I was almost off insulin, I was taking about 2 units a day which was a first in 25 years. I don't know of any other eating plan that works this efficiently for a diabetic.
Remember, you should always see a physician before starting any weight loss plan. Even if you get a doctor that doesn't agree, It will give them some eye opening results.
Thanks for all the support. Your comments really help and it beats the heck out of feeling down and out!!
Grandma hugs to you all

I am still sick, have been fighting a cold, I go to my doctor this
Thursday so I know I can at least get medication if I need it. I suffer from chronic sinunitis, I am missing some sinus cavities and one of the cavities is narrow so in the winter I suffer.
I have been sccessful in getting off all soda again. I am up to drinking my eight glasses or more of water. This week, I am going back straight on induction, no low carb fruit, no low carb drinks, no tastes of anything not allowed.I have been gradually getting off of the starches, now I am ready to say bye bye to it all. I don't want to be sick anymore. And losing weight by being sick is not healthy and it is very bad for a diabetic.
sometimes it seems like you got to hit the lows before you say no more of it. I do not have to be a victim of my disease. I can learn to control it, instead of it controlling me.
Thanks to you all, I believe in my ability to acheive my goals. Have a great week all.

I slipped up today...BUT I am not giving up. I didn't go way overboard but I know it was something I shouldn't eat. I have been thinking\ about the why since, generally their is some reason for slip ups. I did it because I didn't feel like taking the extra effort. I didn't feel like waiting to get home to eat something that I probable would have enjoyed more. Maybe I was being lazy but I really was in a hurry and wanted to eat to get it over with. How very strange. I wasn't really hungry per say but the food was right in front of me so I started by taking a bite, then nibbling than eating half a plate of deep fat fried shrimp. So, now I have a headache, and now I feel crummy, and now my blood sugars are up. I will save this journal entry to remind myself that I am human, to remind myself that I still have a long way to go to conquer my food demon, and to remind myself that I now have a great group of people who really understand not just the atkins diet, or any diet for that matter, but who really understand what it means to have a problem with food. I am so fortunate to have you all for such wonderful support.

Thank you everyone for all the positive support. When you are obese, the negativity from the world can get shall we say really oppressive. There is only so many hahaha's I can mutter in a day to overtly demeaning comments.My favorite refrain is that "Hey so I'm fat, I can lose weight but you will NEVER be able to be anything but STUPID." My grandson came home and told me a joke, He said'" grandma, what happened when the fat woman jumped into the ocean?" I said, Tsunami?! He said no Grandma, the whales jumped up out the water and sang "We are family, I got all my brothers and me...we are family... LOL..He is kind of right, yeah, some of us are bigger then others, some of us are smaller but we all share in the same struggle, to be healthy and reduce how much we weigh. I like whales, anyway..
