Reader's Digest "Reverse Diabetes"
I think if you start from the "standard American diet," which is both high-fat and high-carb, almost any diet will be an improvement. No, it won't "reverse" your diabetes, but a few people will do well on it. I know a nondiabetic was on a LC diet, and she tried a vegan diet and her numbers were much, much better (she had a meter). In fact, they went from prediabetic to normal. Many studies show that fat, especially saturated fat, increases insulin resistance. So if IR is your problem, a high-sat-fat low-carb diet might not be best. We're all different and have to find what works for us.
