Fifty-eight-year-old Dallas took his new diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes seriously. He began a walking program and read the sugar levels on all the packages of food in his house. His doctor told him to eliminate white foods, so he weeded out the majority of grains in his diet and decided to go low-carb.
Dallas dropped a few pounds and was managing healthy blood sugars, but noticed his energy levels were getting progressively weaker. While he initially enjoyed his new high-protein diet, including large portions of meat at supper, he missed potatoes, toast and dessert.
Like many people diagnosed with diabetes, Dallas wanted to do the right thing but was making unnecessary restrictions in his diet that, over time, become hard to stick to.
