Intermittent fasting is best, followed by keto/low carb.
Honestly surprised its not higher
Its not hard to fast when all you eat is Scottish cuisine

On what plan? It seems like the standard treatment makes it worse - and the science backs that up?
Is there any scientific evidence that diabetes is never cured, but only in remission?
Um, well...perhaps, if it’s not permanent (the ‘diet’).
True story: Gave a guy the draft of my book and he carried around JUST 2 pages in his pocket for a year. I found out about that fact after the year when he told me he’d just come from the doctor who’d taken him off of all his meds (he was type-2, among other ailments).
Today, I was in an office doing my job overhearing women in their cubicles talking to each other, arguing over calories, gluten dairy and discussing gluten-free replacements for real food vs. quality/taste. It was hard to listen to and stay silent.
My point is that much of what I read on ‘health’ is akin to turning up the radio to mask a squeak/noise or, better, driving down one street and not the other one because the rough road on the other causes abnormal noises.
Or worse, driving with the radio up so long that the wheels fall off.
It’s not complicated, but I’ve found that fewer than 1-in-1000 can wrap their heads around that on health matters (and fewer achieve goals without the wheels falling off for other reasons, usually what they imparted to influence health changes).

My husband had Type 2 diabetes. A few years ago, he had a near deadly fall and was in ICU for a month. Cured his diabetes, but I don’t recommend this to anyone...
Bttt
Not eating so damn much and fasting are what’s allowed me to lose 25 pounds. It’s also pushed my A1C down to 5.8. I’ve just started ozempic as well to keep the weight loss rolling. I still enjoy food, just a lot less quantity.

“Around one in twenty people in Scotland diagnosed with type 2 diabetes achieve remission from the disease.”
Around 19 in 2 0people in Scotland do not know that the Keto diet will eliminate (remission) or at least greatly minimize the need for diabetics to be on meds.
