Newly diagnosed type 2 here, trying the ‘no meds, 15kg weight loss’ approach for 3 months to see if I can induce remission.
But here’s the thing - doing low carb (I’m around 30 - 50g/day), I would expect my HBA1C to plummet anyway, just because I’m not eating any carb. If I then introduce a little more (complex, low GI) carbs, won’t the numbers just go straight back up again? I wouldn’t call that ‘remission’, more ‘control’.
Do people who are overweight and doing ‘keto’ for weight loss, maybe not actually losing much, have a lower chance of developing type 2 because of their low carb intake - so it’s not just about the weight?
Anyone know?
