yes, too much protein does, in fact, convert to glucose in your body. i took a peek at your food diary, devilfish, and you are eating a lot of protein. atkins is high fat, moderate protein, low carb so your fat should be higher than your protein. perhaps following a HFLC diet (like atkins) will improve your diabetes as it does for many, or perhaps another diet would work better for you? only you know, but whatever way of eating you intend to follow, be sure you research it so you are able to follow it correctly. if you want to stick with atkins, read the book. and there are lots of great resources (and people) here and on the atkins site to help you. good luck with finding the right path for you!
