A striking effect of carbohydrate restriction is reduction or elimination of medication. Table 1 shows results from Yancy, et al. [19] in which 17 of 21 patients with type 2 diabetes reduced or discontinued diabetes medication upon carbohydrate restriction. Similar results were found by Boden [8] and Nielsen [10,20]. Practitioners have pointed out the need to reduce medication in advance of undertaking a low carbohydrate diet [6,10,20,21] highlighting the power of carbohydrate restriction to bring about the same therapeutic effect as drugs."

Two of the authors have an impressive series of articles on carbohydrate restriction. Enter volek js, feinman rd into the query box at PubMed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
