Webmaster for the Low Carb for Diabetes site, with content by Ron Raab. Ron describes his personal experience with adopting the low-carb/moderate protein/moderate fat regime, and presents other evidence and references to support and urge others with diabetes to investigate the regime and to try it (after checking with their doctor, of course). Ron is a long-time friend and relative by marriage and it was a pleasure to design and to maintain this site. I have also adopted this regime for months at a time and I can attest that it definitely works to bring about more level and normal blood sugars. Take a look!
