Are these claims just fads or hype? Or is there an element of possibility?
I have not watched the film, but will do a search on Netflix.....

This is not so new. My mother died over25 years ago. She was diabetic. I remember her telling me a story about this chap who was stranded somewhere for several days without food. When he was rescued eventually they found that although he had been a diabetic previously he no longer was. She found that very exciting news at the time that maybe diabetes could be cured.
Are we talking here Type1 diabetes or Type 2?
It doesn't matter, if the carbohydrates are cooked or not, the end result in a diabetic is the same.
Type1 cannot be cured by diet alone.
Type 2 can be cured by diet alone providing that you are willing to spend the rest of your life on 800Cals/day or less.
It is that simple.

That's what i think too, sqad. But i don't agree type 2 is "cured". It is just under control -while you continue to control it.
I've only ever known 5 or 6 people who have been told they are diabetic and then are told they're not. But it was never described as "cured", just misdiagnosed in the first place.

Interesting work from Newcastle suggests, as sqad says, that some cases of type 2 diabetes can be reversed with a low calorie diet - it will be interesting to see the results of a more extensive trial, as the original study involved less than 12 people, so early days yet.
Sqad, my understanding of it was that you didn't have to keep on a very low calorie diet for ever, but it was enough to keep your weight down below a certain level.

NB This kind of dieting should only be carried out under strict medical supervision.

Sqad, I can't find any info anywhere, but I knew a lady who had it. I guess its quite rare. She had an op to repair a fractured femur, went under with no evidence of diabetes (yes she'd been screened, a urine dip only though IIRC) and post op, she quickly developed the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. She came to us (community hospital) for mobility rehab with it all written up in her notes and instructions to monitor her blood sugars and reduce the meds as her condition normalised, which it did.
This was around 15 years ago. Her notes said that it was a known but uncommon side effect of whatever anaesthetic had been used...I have no idea what the anaesthetic would have been.

Here is another type 2 diabetic who no longer needs medication after losing weight
