Duh. We know that not eating carbs means your BG levels won't go up as much, therefore less insulin/fewer meds are needed. Compliance is obviously an issue. And they even admit that is has to be strictly controlled and enforced.
How much weight have you lost Frank? Weight loss (no matter how you do it) results in less need for insulin/meds also.
