Reiterating what the diabetics in these threads will tell you:

Type 1 isn't about insulin resistance in your cells, it's about not producing insulin in your pancreas. Of course type 1 diabetics with rigorous diets will have less glucose swings, but a stable A1c or daily tests doesn't mean your eyelet cells grew back. It's a bit like saying a hemophiliac is asymptotic because they haven't had any cuts lately.

These kinds of articles can come off as callus to diabetics. They're getting diet advice from their GPs and their endocrinologists. They don't need muggles telling them to eat better.
