This would necessitate patients that were willing to try out a few drugs, but I’d sure do it.
Optimize everything you can, I say.

As for me cutting out sugars and carbs is all it took.

This sound irresponsible as far as I see it. I depend on my Doctor to prescribe what I need. This sounds like more third world retrogression.

I take Metformin and Glimepiride, both not part of the study.

Changed carb intake, focusing on macro utrients for my needs. Started 11/7, down 12 lbs, off 2 orals. Using 1/3 of previous mealtime units and half of previous basal. Docs sure won’t tell you that you need far less carbs per meal/snack than “recommended” by the American Diabetes Assoc.

They need a control group that takes no medication and does one or two 24 hour fasts each week, with no special diet or exercise modifications.

Interesting that they left out Metformin. This sounds like a scam to me. Like “The Pepsi Challenge” but to increase use of expensive drug options, and instead of Coke, they used Mr. Pibb and RC Cola.

I stress diabetics must wear a Libre 2/3, or Dexcom device to constantly monitor their glucose, which helps to pinpoint what your body is doing and when.
The drugs are nice, but it’s important to know which one is going to do the proper thing. And people need to have a bit of tolerance for the side effects, you can’t just feel off for a week and drop the medicine. Diarrhea will go away, other side effects your body may adjust to them with a bit of time.

Actually this is normally done when there is good health care. The physician and patient collaborate on decisions about care.

There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
ZERO is the magic number.

My doctor recommends low carb or keto to all his type two diabetics. I was one of his first patients to introduce him to how effective it is.

Just don’t make others pay for it if it is controllable by diet, but not being controlled by diet.

Congrats.
Not for everyone, but for most people this is the answer.
To: Delta 21
I disagree. Vegetables have carbs. I consider those essential given the benefits garnered from the vegetables I consume. But you do you. If zero carbs works for you long term, have at it.

Do you know what you call a doctor who finished in the bottom 5% of his class in Medical school?...
You call him “Doctor”.
