great book - I'm also mostly gluten free.
you might be interested in the Paleo diet as well (I'm personally not a fan because it doesn't match my lifestyle, but it mostly shuns grains of all kinds using similar evidence)
keep in mind that your BGs are probably more stable because of the decrease of complex carbohydrates in general.
as an athlete, carbs are necessary for me - I'm 100% against low carb diets because I think they're misleading. cut out carbs from processed foods? fine, but there's nothing wrong with carbs from fruits and vegetables.
I think everyone, diabetics and non-diabetics alike, would do well from a mostly plant based diet.
you might be interested in the documentary Forks Over Knives. that was a real eye opener for me.
