Earlier on in my diagnosis I followed Roy Taylors work very closely, and even did an attempt at his Newcastle protocol. It was hard, but I did see quick improvements in BG and blood pressure. Since then I've become more invested in IF (Jason Fung) and keto eating (advocates are a dime a dozen, but I admire Stephen Phinney). Through my wanderings and my N=1 experiments, I've come to realize what's common to all of these successful T2 reversal experiments. That is lowering insulin primarily through diet. I get good results when I'm disciplined and stay on the plan. Which is more or less why I left the Taylor crowd for keto/IF. I need a sustainable lifestyle change, as a quick fix wont last.
FWIW, I wouldn't worry about weight. It's a poor metric of metabolic health. Fat in the liver and pancreas is very indicative of poor metabolic health, but the scale won't measure that specifically.
Best of luck. You're very early in the process. If you put your health first, you can turn this around.
