low carb high fat ketogenic diets: can they help cure type 2 diabetes?

"It only made sense – we treat gluten intolerance with elimination of gluten intake, and we treat lactose intolerance with elimination of lactose intake. Why, then, do we not tell carbohydrate-intolerant individuals (type 2 diabetics) to eliminate carbohydrate intake?" ...more at diet doctor.com 

I'm not lactose intolerant- but perhaps I am carb-sensitive.....

I went to visit a friend in the hospital for a type 2 diabetes foot surgery and saw the diabetic-special lunch tray. 

• a can of iced tea (32 grams of carbs per can)
• a low-fat turkey sandwich (2 slices of bread- about 25 grams of carbs) 
• a salad with low-fat dressing (about 10 grams of carbs)
• an apple (25 grams of carbs) 

They offered a meal that contained about 100 grams of carbs to a person who is insulin resistant. They also offered diabetes medication to keep blood sugar in check. There is growing evidence that a low carb, high fat ketogenic diet can be a solution for many people. The USDA food pyramid (with a basis in grains) has been a failure for the majority of the population. Obesity and diabetes are on the rise. We need a change.
