Type II diabetes is where you have plenty of insulin but the cell receptors for the insulin dont work. The drugs you take for Type II are not insulins but those to get those receptors working.

To say that this fad diet works by getting your pancreas to start pumping insulin is so stupid I laughed in my oatmeal.

Beta cell function declines in T2DM. The prevailing theory is that they simply burn out after years of overproduction due to insulin resistance of cells. Unless this diet can regrow beta cells the article is complete garbage.

That’s how type II starts, as it progresses the pancreas stops producing insulin.

Improved diabetes has also been observed in a large percentage of gastric bypass patients. Whether it is a reduction in calories or something else
I don't think has been studied in full yet.

Spot on. This article describes the Type I diabetes affliction.

And if it were as simple as maintaining a low calorie diet for 8 weeks...there would be no such thing as Type I diabetes. Now...where did I put my Glyburide?
