I’ve been doing this since being told I was diabetic. After much research, mainly on the About.Com Diabetes area, I decided that eating low and good carbs would be the best way for me. Once I was stabilized on my medications, I found that “bad” carbs did more damage with my control than sugar itself.
Here are two great articles on low-carb eating to lose weight and control diabetes.
If I follow what some would call a modified Atkins, South Beach Phase II way of eating, I can keep my glucose levels within range and my weight stable.
Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Blog is another great place I read in regard to eating low carb.
Eating low carb doesn’t mean you can’t ever have “fun” food, I do all the time - within limits. Once you start thinking low-carb, you eat better and make spurlge choices better.

I completely agree…low carb helped me to lose 35 pounds four years ago, and I’ve managed to keep 25-30 of them off. I’ve noticed when I keep my carbs lower and eliminate the “bad” ones…I really do feel better.
