YouTube is a huge source of misinformation, but there are some gems there, such as Dr. Ekberg, Diet Doctor, etc.My wife has been on again off again on low carb and plant-based diets, so I was familiar with many of the concepts. Eckberg just resonated with the things that I already knew and explain them in a manner that made sense to analytical "show me the evidence" me.I'm 68 years old, and I have found through the years to listen to my doctors advice and then figure out if I should follow it or not. He's a good guy, and he's helped me a lot, but he is of the school of "here try this and it should help". I use his advice and recommendations as a starting point and take it from there. In this case, he gave me Metformin and a CGM. After researching the issue, I decided the Metformin was ...uhm... not a good idea, the CGM was a godsend, and based on everything I've researched and read, a LCHF diet is the way to go… for now, just to get my numbers down AND STABLE while I research if there's a better diet for me.</blockquote>
