Or is this guy overreacting about his keto-induced physiological insulin resistance and glucose intolerance because as a T1 diabetic, he may have been insulin sensitive and just found it a shock to have a sudden insulin resistance and considered it metabolic damage when really it seemed to only take him 48 hours for it to reverse when he moved to a plant based diet.
He just claims he can now eat an even higher amount of carbs now.

I think the answer lies here...
"I dropped my fat intake from 75% of daily energy to between 15-20%. I removed all animal foods and oils from my diet. I focused on eating healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and seeds. I also added whole grains and legumes back into my diet (both of which I hadn’t eaten in nearly seven years since following a paleo approach) and an abundance of all types of fruits. Within 48 hours my insulin sensitivity started to return to normal. Within 1-2 weeks my carbohydrate intake was the highest it had been since being diagnosed with diabetes, and my insulin use dropped dramatically."
If the damages to insulin sensitivity from 7 years of paleo/keto is permanent...don't think it would have been easily recoverable...are nerves and microvascular damages from high glucose excursions as easily recoverable?
