I've made the official switch to Atkins/Low-Carb. The reason for me is not just out of looking for a trend, but based on my lab work. My insulin level is at 22 with a max of 24 and preferred level of 8. How do you get your body to stop shoving so much insulin into your blood stream? You reduce the carbs you take in. One of the other reasons my body pushes out extra insulin is because I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) that also jacks up my blood sugar levels. So, I have things messing with my blood sugar in my body, on medication that can also trigger insulin release...yeah...I don't need to complicate things with my diet. So, today was my first day on it. I am hoping to improve each day. I have also changed my sleep/wake cycle to get better with medication that I have to take as well. Lots of changes. Here's to hoping for good results.
