I've only seen correlation, not causation. Which makes sense; you likely don't start off drinking Diet Coke - you switch to it once you have some sort of health concern. FWIW, there are studies that a low calorie, low carbohydrate diet can reverse type ii diabetes (or rather, put it in remission)[0]. The underlying hypothesis came about I believe to explain why people who had a gastric reduction surgery would also sometimes see a remission in their diabetes. I use a telemedicine[1] which was involved in one of these studies, and which I believe has started to see some insurance coverage because of the savings related to reduction in insulin used by patients. I'm personally maintaining pre-diabetic levels (but have never used insulin). 0: https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/doi2.00003 https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/doi2.00... 1: https://www.virtahealth.com https://www.virtahealth.com
