Answers:
It's definitely better than a high-carb diet!. I personally didn't do too well on Atkins because I apparently need some carbs to stimulate my pancreas to produce insulin!. What I found better was low-glycemic eating meaning complex carbohydrates paired with protein!.

But low-carb recipes would definitely be handy for a diabetic!. Everyone's just a little bit different and the important thing is to avoid white carbs until he gets his sugars sorted out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Simply put, Atkins is not healthy for diabetics or non-diabetics alike- humans need a rich and varied diet BUILT ON carbohydrates, not shying away from them!

The trick is moderate portions and the comsumption of 'good' carbs versus bad carbs, like sugar, white bread, ect!.!.

Your father needs to work with his doctor and a nutritionalist to find a diet that is both HEALTHY, not extremely restrictive, and good for him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
