New dx for boyfriend

I have been asked by diabetics in the past what they should do and my advice has always been to start on Atkins induction and then take it from there. That does have the tendency to “normalize” blood sugar levels for virtually everybody diabetics included.

Many of those who have taken that approach have found that their problem with diabetes gets dealt with very quickly and the next visit to their doctor is a far more pleasant experience for them and quite often an eye opener for the doctor in question.

Also getting a glucose meter is a sound advice and these are inexpensive and readily available. Just watch out for the price of testing strips as it may be better to buy a slightly more expensive meter that has the cheaper consumables as these quickly mount up particularly if you’re testing more than once or twice a day.

Hope that helps,

Mark
