A low-carb diet can cause transient period of increased insulin-resistance. I believe this is due to hormonal shifts and is gone after a couple days on a "normal" diet. Even Dr. Atkins recommends 4 days on at least a 150 carb/day diet before getting a Glucose Tolerance Test to ensure accurate readings. However I've never heard of any permanent increase in IR on a low-carb diet.
