Does the "atkins diet" work for people with narcolepsy? is there anything in narcolepsy that would cause the atkins diet to not work?

See below: A low carbohydrate diet, under the guidance of a doctor, may work as an adjunct. But if you have narcolepsy, it is recommended that you consult a sleep doctor so that it can be evaluated and treated. Good sleep hygiene and medications are the mainstays of treatment. Hope that helps!

It should: there shouldn't be any specific reason why atkins wouldn't work for individuals with narcolepsy.
