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.

I don't think it is fair to say 100% manageable - I'm not aware any study has ever shown that. There are many sub-types. And there are extenuating circumstances for some people.

Just want to call this out, as it is very demoralizing to hear this sort of message when it does not apply to you.
