Dr has recommended the Ideal Protein diet...

Please look up the Diabetes DTour Diet from Prevention magazine. It is what I started with one montb ago. Very laid out to get control of blood sugar, limit spikes and and its a lifestyle you can do for a long time. The weight loss to start with is dramatic. It is backed by tons of research and its so laid out for you.

Obviously, you are under a doctor's guidance and you have to decide whether you respect his opinion or not, but I just wanted to share this option.
