What about an ethnic diet?  I know that in the 4 Corners the docs have found
that folks with diabetes that return to a lamb, corn, bean and squash based
diet and got rid of the wheat, beef and sugar diet stopped needing insulin
and lost a lot of weight.

Of course, that could present a problem if one is a total American (mutt
<g>) and doesn't lean toward any particular limb on their family tree.
