I know what the standard view is. Until September of this year, the American Diabetes Association, and other organizations said that remission was impossible. Now they admit it is possible, though other groups/doctors still don't.

My only point is we don't really have strong science to back this up, or to fully understand. A lot of what is considered standard medical science is just based on what is widely believed, not solid science.

That seems odd. The idea that Type 2 can go into remission via weight loss and a low carb diet isn’t new. It goes back at least to the 1930s. It was the sole option prior to the introduction of insulin.
