Why do you think what you're eating might not be a healthy diet? And there are very few carbs in yoghurt, avocado and eggs.Ive been type 2 for over 10 years, im a 60 yr old male, 5’10 and weigh 145lb. Never smoked and not touched alcohol in over30yrs, always taken care of myself fitness wise and always ate healthy ... or so i thought!
5 days ago i stopped carbs almost completely (still have yoghurt, avacado and eggs) ive just done my blood test two hrs after my last meal and my blood sugar has dropped to 5.8 from usually over the 8 mark
So for the last 5days ive been eating for lunch yoghurt, tablespoon of flax seed and two tablespoons of chia seeds, smooth peanut butter and a avacado. Blended to make a drink
For my evening meal ive been having a steak and four boiled eggs
I know longer get the munchies at anytime because i feel full, oh and my blood pressure has dropped to 130/75
I know this might not be the healthiest diet long term but its all trial and error, at the moment it appears to be working for me

In the early days of T1/LADA it may be presenting and controlled with low carb diet, exercise, and metformin like a T2, so it can be complicated for doctors who are not familiar with the complexities and non-textbook presentation, so @Susie1804 I think your husband should ask to be tested for T1 antibodies and c-peptide, if this has not been done already, (results usually take at least a couple of weeks to come back), so at least he knows what he is dealing with for sure, and will get the advice and monitoring he needs.No dietary change or metformin can manage Type 1 diabetes. You need insulin and a doctor who understands Type 1.
Just add in some vegetables that grow above ground, e.g. cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli ( but not sweetcorn or too many tomatoes) and you'll be fine for lifeI know this might not be the healthiest diet long term

See what you mean. I have friends that are completely convinced my eating pattern, particularly eating fat, is going to kill me, and can't quite accept that I'm in remission and have lost weight - because I'm not eating " the healthy diet" that the media goes on about.Because your brain washed from childhood on what you should eat
