Atkins will work very well, but if you are looking for a book, I highly recommend " Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution " by Dr Bernstein as being a preferable choice. Bernstein's low-carb diet is very similar to the Atkins " induction phase " , differing only in minor details. The Atkins book(s) is(are) focused on weight-loss, with a small part about diabetes. Dr B's book is totally focused on diabetes and is, IMHO, a real education about the disease, its horrendous complications (if uncontrolled) and how to possibly delay or avoid them altogether, and how to control with a minimum of medications (none in many cases). I believe it is still available from Bayer Corp in paperback for $8.00. I don't have the 800 phone number at my fingertips, but can find it if you are interested. I personally feel thaat Dr B's book literally saved my life. There are " recommended reading " links at the end of these posts that will lead you to Dr B's website also.
