About 3 weeks ago she broke one of her toes. This normally would not be a big deal but she has type 2 diabetes and it had a small wound on it. I did not know this(she hid it from me) and last wednesday we went off to the beach with my family. She was limping around a bit during the trip but she claimed it was just a small scratch. Monday morning when she got up it was black as can be from the tip of her toe to her first knuckle. We went to the ER and her toe is pretty much dead. She has to have it removed to protect the rest of the foot. The good news is she has great circulation of blood right now and it does not appear to be spreading but it is still scary as a diabetic. Surgery will be either later today or tomorrow. Please pray for her to come out of this safe with the infection dead and no chance to spread anywhere else. I appreciate it!

That's great to hear, fren. The carnivore diet works for this as well. Some people recommend taking additional supplements to replace the nutrients you're not getting from veggies, but others say it's fine. But either way it's a very healthy diet. A lot of people among the population also have allergies to certain fruits and vegetables, so cutting all of those out makes them feel a lot better.
If your wife is losing weight it means her body has probably already become "fat-adapted", which means it's now using fat from her diet (as well as from her own body) as fuel, instead of carbs. Hence why she's been losing weight. So it sounds like her body is, already, no longer reliant on carbs, and that's great. If she sticks to this diet she'll have more energy and better health, and her insulin resistance will go away eventually.
Again, best of luck to the both of you with everything. God bless. :)
