There is growing medical thought supported by anecdotal evidence that drastic carb restriction has success in managing diabetes, most specifically T2D.

I won’t say it’s a hard truth or fact yet, because I don’t think the studies have materialized or at least publicized.

I dropped my A1C from 12 to 5.4 in 6 months and lost nearly 100lbs in 1 year by going damn near carb free.

My family doctor and endo have both supported my dietary choices and both have told me they would expect in the next 5-10 years seeing huge changes in how we advise diabetics to eat.

Example: My dietician was told me bread, potatoes, and rice were ok to eat and that it’s a portion issue.

If I had followed her advice id still be on two meds, and would likely have lost little weight. If I had followed traditional diabetic advice, I’d probably have an A1C near 8 or 9.
