My Dad was diagnosed with diabetes when he was in the military WAAAY back in the '40's - and he was put on an "experimental" diet (at that time) for the diabetes. You guessed it - LC!! He stayed on it for a few years, but with the advent of better insulin in the '60's he went back to his "regular" way of eating. Sadly, he died of a diabetes-related stroke in 1973, when I was 8. I wonder if he would have lived a longer life had he continued to LC. Naturally, after he went back to a carb-filled lifestyle, he put on a tremendous amount of weight. SEE? THIS ISN'T A FAD - IT'S BEEN ENDORSED BY DR'S IN THE PAST!!!
