I have Type 2. I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and had a hard time keeping my sugar level down. Then I lost over 80 pounds and cut back on the carbs. I am no longer on medication but still have a problem with sugar levels, I can’t keep them up! I’ve passed out several times because of low blood sugar. I used to limit carbs to under 40 grams per meal, now I try to have at least 80 grams per meal and eat candy between meals.

FYI only:
I know this may be weird but #1, my husband has controlled T2.

#2v He was on Metformin for unrelated bowel discomfort. It didn’t help. Dr. put him on Metamucil. Dr. was surprised that it also helped his A1C as well as the discomfort.

My brother-in-law was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago. His doctor put him on meds and told him to watch what he ate. Cut the carbs almost completely, especially processed carbs. He lost 70 lbs., the doctor eventually dropped his meds and his blood work showed no more diabetes. He actually reversed the condition by eating a zero-to-low carb diet.

He still eats that way and has maintained his weight and has not needed medications since.
