Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

I have very minor hyperinsulinism, with resulting hypoglycemia. I am living an Atkins diet, with occasional use of alcohol, and just a few cups of coffee per day. How long until I hit the point of type 2 diabetes. This is a very important question, because with my career, diabetes would basically end it. Thanks!

Only your doctor can tell you that, based on an educated guess from your labwork. Each person if different, depending on how their body is handling the problem. Some do not develop the diabetes for years or even decades, but there are people who develop diabetes in a matter of months.

If anyone has any good diabetic recipes for cakes or whatever, I would like to know.
Thank you very much

I have a relative visiting soon who is on a diabetic diet. Does any know of any websites or sources for diabetic recipes? Thanks for your help.

Having had diabetes myself for over forty years, I have found that there really aren’t "diabetic" receipes. Diabetics eat the same food as anyone else, its only that the portions have to be managed. A balanced diet of carbs, proteins, vegs and fruits (The same that is recommended for everyone.) I think you will find that your guest will be happy if you just prepare your normal fare. We can even eat a small serving of regular dessert occaisionly. Hope this helps.
