re: I can't imagine anything worse than the Paleo diet.

So. I'm diabetic. It's partly genetic as it runs in the family and partly the generation I grew up in which is addicted to carbs.

For me the low carb diet is great because it gives me a way to control my A1C without taking 5-6 shots of insulin a day and taking a host of other pills. A nice side affect is that my midsection tightens up (with exercise added of course).

That's good enough for me. If I can keep my sugar levels under control with diet alone it's a lifestyle I'm willing to lead.

Made a low carb pizza Saturday night.
