I am a type 2 diabetic, 76 years old, diabetic for 34 years. When I went on
a low carb diet 20 years ago (which was very close to Paleo) I was able to get
 off all medication for over 10 years. I stopped eating all grain products,
all  dairy products and all processed foods. I use no soft drinks.  At this
time I drink no beer or wine because I am trying to lose weight. I do have  a
Vodka and water with a little lime juice once or twice a day. ( except  for the
little lime juice it has no carbs). I also have one cup of black coffee  in
the morning and ice tea occasionally.   JerrySteg
