I recently started reducing my carbs to help me lose a few pounds and better control my blood glucose; I’m a Type 1 diabetic. I’m not doing extreme Atkins, just trying to stay between 100-130 per day. But I’ve been so sleepy and lethargic since I’ve started it. I feel like I constantly need a nap! Is this normal? Is it something I’ll get used to, or is there a solution? I’m 41 and in otherwise good health.
Weight Watchers helped me lose a few pounds but then I was stuck at a plateau. I’ve lost another 4 lbs. with the lower carbs. And my blood glucose is much more stable, so I’d like to try to make it work.

I’m 30 wks and have been very conscious of everything I have eaten my whole pregnancy. I eat whole grains. I don’t eat desserts or drink soda. When I’m not nauseated by them, I eat veggies and lean meat. I looked at diabetes diets online and am already eating in line with them. No one in my family has diabetes.
I work for a fast paced job that brings in lunch daily. We don’t pick what, they just bring in a bunch of something. This is the only time when I’m not in control of my diet. Nov is our busiest month, most days I work 10 hrs without breaks so I know I don’t get enough water or exercise during the day. Now I’m feeling angry towards my employer. I’m also feeling very angry with my body and even the baby! I don’t want to tell people because they already joke about how careful I am with my diet. It always annoyed me- now it seriously pisses me off. Is this a natural first reaction? Will this feeling pass? Since I already eat very healthy, do you think I’ll have to take insulin?
