I'm now pretty convinced these people are probably the answer if you really want to reverse T2 diabetes and not just manage it. The thought of avoiding carbs the rest of my life sounds ridiculous and unsustainable, so I'm pretty convinced these programs have the answer. I know I could never cut them out or restrict them long term, so these programs have lots of appeal to me. Their big difference to low carb is that they put a big emphasis on restoring insulin sensitivity, which low carb doesn't even mention from what I can see. My understanding is if you fix insulin resistance, you can then eat plenty of carbs without the glucose spikes- to me that's really reversing diabetes.   The Mastering Diabetes folks give keto a big thumbs down and the explanations by Cyrus (who is certainly well qualified to comment) make a lot of sense to me. <a href="https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/ketosis-ketogenic-diets-misleading/" target="_blank">https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/ketosis-ketogenic-diets-misleading/</a>     Dr Fuhrman does seem a bit low carb for my liking but its in no way a low carb program.  Explore deeply and see what makes sense and works for you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
