Another is this:
The American Diabetes Association has tentatively moved towards recommending low carbs, but diabetes specialist Hope Warshaw says many study subjects are unable to stick with Bernstein-style diets. "Diabetes lasts the rest of your life. You need to find an eating plan that you can follow for that long as well."
Well - hello? It really doesn't matter much if the rest of your life is going to be ending pretty soon, but if you want to continue eating for as long as possible, it's kind of a no brainer to eat what gets you there..........

I find low carb with unlimted fat more pleasurable than the low fat, high carb approach. Much tastier and I don't miss the carby stuff even though at one time I thought I couldn't live without it.
Low carb is much easier to stick to. I have already made it a lifestyle and will follow it for the rest of my life. when I saw Hope Warshaw debate Dr. Bernstein on dLife, I wanted to reach through the TV and shake the living you-know-what out of her.
