How long does this cure last until the unhealthy diet & lifestyle that originally caused the insulin resistance bring it back again?

It's frustrating, as Type 2 diabetes is 100% manageable through diet. You don't even have to exercise, just eat healthy. Today, with the use of continuous glucose monitors, you have all the data you need to make informed diet decisions - you know exactly what "eat healthy" means for your body.

Well, shit. I can't believe it never occurred to these obese people to just eat right!

You, sir, are a modern messiah. Well done.

A big part of the problem is that if you go to a doctor with diabetes, 90%+ he will tell you to use insulin. He won't tell you to loose weight and go on keto diet.

Still popular opinion is that eating meat and fat is bad for you (heart attack) but no many understand that eating sugar and carbs is a highway to diabetes).

In fact many people who go on keto and reverse diabetes report that doctors instead of congratulating them and telling other patients to do the same, tell them that keto diet (i.e. eating lots of meat) will give them heart attacks.

Most people don't know how bad sugar and carbs are because no one tells them.

No doctor is going to lose their job as a result of following established guidelines.
