The DARdreams Store

I discovered I have type 2 diabetes in March of 2003. I had gestational diabetes twice and followed the ADA's advice to avoid progressing to type 2 (weight control, low fat/high carb diet, and lots of exercise). It didn't work, and knowing what I know now, I'm not surprised. I have been researching diabetes and low carb eating since my diagnosis and am a member of About's Low Carb Diets Forum. By following a strict low carb lifestyle, I have been able to stop taking diabetes and cholesterol meds. I also lost 60 lbs and got my A1c down to 4.9. I started my website to provide recipes, encouragement, and info for others who want to follow a healthy low carb lifestyle to lose weight, control or prevent diabetes, improve lipid levels, and/or simply live a healthy life. This store is a continuation of that goal.
