The root cause of diabetes lies on the glycemic index that every food that we eat carries.  The more the glycemic index, there is the more chance of getting diabetes.

As children, we were able to digest and process these foods easily because all our functionality of our body functions efficiently when we were young.  But as we grow old the same diet consumption lead to obesity as well as diabetes.

Blood sugar can be adequately controlled using Atkins diet.  The healthy combination of fats, protein and adequate carbohydrate will keep body fit and disease free.  Carbohydrate control with the amount consumed as well as the type will actually control the spikes in insulin.  Hence this will mean that your diabetes will be under control or if started early, the chances of acquiring diabetes is less.
