Remission without insulin therapy on gluten-free diet in a 6-year old
boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22729336

Abstract

"A 5-year and 10-month old boy was diagnosed with classical type 1
diabetes mellitus (T1DM) without celiac disease. He started on a
gluten-free diet after 2-3 week without need of insulin treatment. At
the initiation of gluten-free diet, HbA1c was 7.8% and was stabilised
at 5.8%-6.0% without insulin therapy. Fasting blood glucose was
maintained at 4.0-5.0 mmol/l. At 16 months after diagnosis the fasting
blood glucose was 4.1 mmol/l and after 20 months he is still without
daily insulin therapy. There was no alteration in glutamic acid
decarboxylase positivity. The gluten-free diet was safe and without
side effects. The authors propose that the gluten-free diet has
prolonged remission in this patient with T1DM and that further trials
are indicated."

First obvious question is what was the carb level in the
diet with gluten and what was the carb level in the diet
without gluten. IF in fact it was just going without gluten
that produced this result, you would think they would feature
that in the summary, because it would indeed be a powerful
and profound point. But no mention is made, despite
indicting gluten, not refined carbs in general. So, call
me skeptical....
