Watch any of dr phinney video about “reversal” of type 2 diabetes. Beta hydroxybutarate/ric acid actually increase insulin sensitivity. So a keto diet does not only lower carbs intake it also helps with the main cause of type 2 diabetes which is insulin resistance.

A full keto diet is more effective than just low carbs(i.e below 130g) Dr phinney even says for people with insuline resistance its adviced to go <\=20g per day.Cause people with insuline resistance might not be able to go into Ketosis with 50gms let alone 130gm!!
I would advice anyone with type 2 diabetes to go full keto or carnivore for "real" benefits get the HbA1c below 5.6. I am following alot of keto and carnivore acc on social media and i have seen people on carnivore diet with diabetes for 15 years going back to a HbA1c of 5.2%!!!! carnivore is 0 carbs!!
I would love to read about your threads on how a low carb or a keto diet is helping you. I have a nephew thats type 1 but its heard to convince his parents to go atleast low carb for his benefit. There are researches that showed a KETO DIET not low carb can reverse autoimmune damage for a NEWLY diagnosed type 1 diabetic. And other studies which show a keto diet helped long term type 1 diabetics and LADA diabetics regenerate beta cell
