I’ve been a T2 diabetic for 14 years. For the first 8 years I was insulin dependent and bought into the dietary reqs provided to me at the time which was “grains and fruit are good, just push insulin to manage glucose”. I realized that every month it was taking more and more insulin to manage my blood sugar. I shifted my diet to higher fat and low carbs and was off insulin completely within 3 months and within 6 months my A1c was running low 5s YMMV of course, but at no point eating the approved ADA diet and pushing insulin was my A1c ever below 6.5. Since eating low carb and no insulin, my A1c has never been above 5.4
