And yet so many modern doctors claim that T2D is "for life".
If you browse this "health sphere" on eg twitter you will find many, many such cases.
For some it takes longer, for some shorter, but even if some T2 diabetics don't go into full remission they atleast greatly reduce their insulin dosage.
In general the "secret sauce" seems to be weight loss and/or fatty liver/fatty pancrease healing/remission.
The funny thing is that this can be done both on a high-carb low fat AND on a high fat low carb diet (but fats and carbs must be MUTUALY EXCLUSIVE and NOT MIXED).
This is a point of much argument between vegans who claim that a high carb vegan diet cures T2D and keto/carnivore people who claim that low-carb diet cures T2D.
What they fail to see is that BOTH diets can work if you DO NOT MIX FATS AND CARBS (vegans are for a high-carb low-fat diet while keto/carnivores are for a high-fat low-carb diet and they're too blind to see that it's the MIXING of fructose and fats that the issue lol).
Obviously low-carb is the way to go since it's carbs that cause severe blood sugar spikes.
Fatty liver is primarily caused by large amounts of fat + fructose eaten at the same time, which is why T2D didn't exist until the last ~50 years until we started consuming so much sugar and fruits (since the modern sugar bomb fruits abominations didn't exist ~100 years ago).
This doesn't mean that fat is the issue, it's fructose.
Remember: agroculutural revolution was 10k years ago: before that there WERE NO sources of high carb foods, which means that until 10k years ago we were all eating a low carb diet.
