I am so glad you found a tasty and sustainable approach to greatly extend your life.
So many diagnosed with Type 2 just accept the drugs and continue to eat in unhealthy ways. For that matter, the American Diabetes Association prescribed high simple sugar diets as the only “sustainable” diet for diabetics. They knew in 2006 that low carb put diabetes into remission, but couldn't encourage it because it was not sustainable.
“We want to promote a diet that people can live with long-term,” says Clark, who is vice president of clinical affairs and youth strategies for the ADA. “People who go on very low carbohydrate diets generally aren't able to stick with them for long periods of time.”

A better question is why would anyone want to?
If you tell people up front that they can’t ever again eat Pizza, or Bread, or Pasta or Spaghetti or Taters, Ice Cream, etc, they will tune everything out. Particularly when the “approved” diet is 3 almonds, a slice of Hickory Sawdust toast, and a Brussel Sprout Smoothie.
I mean, just shoot me now. I can and do eat entire Pizzas once in a while. 2,000 to 2500 calories isn’t going to “break” the calorie bank.
Tonite I made a 2 egg omelet stuffed with Parnells breakfast sausage and melty velveeta, doused in Franks hot sauce. Two thick texas cut chunks of well-done toasted home made french bread slathered in dairy butter. And I might have a homebrew. It ain’t a lot of food, but it’s damn tasty.
One thing about people “watching” what they eat, they get real particular about it, ingredients and prep. (Yeah, I know velveeta ain’t cheese. Sue me!)
