I have a friend who was considered by his Doc to be type 2. Within one week
of moving to a 50g gram per day carb diet he was symptom free, his BG was
normal and stable and his energy had returned.  It took a month before
everything had settled properly...

Also, Lutz I believe has successfully treated many issues including Diabetes
with a diet of less than 70 grams carb per day.

I think for many people reducing carbs by any amount and increasing fats
especially saturated fats (whether they eat paleo or not) would go a long
way helping with a myriad of health issues.

Just my 2 cents
