Diabetes and Hypoglycemia are closely related. They both are a result of your body not being able to maintain normal bloodsugar levels. One is too high blood sugar and one is too low.

Most obese people produce an excess amount of insulin (usually as a result of eating too much sugar) so they eat more starches/sugars to make up for it and the body makes more insulin to compensate and it's a vicious cycle.

According to the book, when you get on a low carb diet, your insulin levels return to normal and your blood sugar becomes stable.
