If you want to know more about diabetes, I'd highly recommend that you go to your local bookstore or library and get your hands on Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution by Richard K. Bernstein. He does a very good job of explaining diabetes and how low carbing is the best way there is to control it and in many cases, prevent the complications that can come with it.
The Schwarzbein Principle might be another good book for you to get hold of and read as well.
