While far below my previous diet of approx. 350 grams of carb per day, at this level I was not able to get my blood glucose under 150 (fasting), despite several medication and dosage changes.
Within 2 weeks of starting Atkins I was able to stop taking my meds completely and during the first year of low-carbing my hba1c went from 9.7 to 5.6, which I have maintained for a year. BTW, 6.0 and below is the non-diabetic range.

Atkins made one of the most important nutritional discoveries in history.
