Restricting carb intake even more only made this worse. He learned about fiber, resistant starch, which feeds our good gut bacteria, thus improving insulin resistance. His health improved when he started eating beans, Ezekiel bread, and cooled cooked potatoes (which quadruples the resistant starch). He has included resistant starch, but still eats low carb. 37:52 GLP-1: Your intestinal cells will produce GLP-1 when you feed them resistant starch.
