Nice bit of research into the condition, and potential user level treatment (work your rhythm to best advantage). Nice, potentially fewer drugs.
Where’s the cure?
How about what's the best defense? Diabetes knowledge is still a work in progress. Not all type II diabetics are the same, but with high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and an undesirable lipid profile, you have Syndrome X, also known as metabolic syndrome.
Diets restricted in carbohydrate intake have benefited many with metabolic syndrome. If you enter Volek JS, Feinman RD into PubMed's query box, then you'll do an authors' search on two writers who have written 11 articles showing the benefit of carbohydrate restriction. 7 articles are FReebies.
There are some who can be diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, LADA. Think of them as late type I diabetics. They are somewhere on the road to becoming insulin dependent.
Regardless, unless you are an endurance athlete and train regularly, I fail to see the harm in carbohydrate restricted diets.
Do some regular exercise even if it's just walking. If you must snack, use nuts per the Mediterranean diet, i.e. 30 grams of mixed nuts per day (15 grams of walnuts, 7.5 grams of hazelnuts, and 7.5 grams of almonds. 30 grams is slightly more than an ounce.
