Eating a generally healthy diet isn't enough. Research has shown that type-2 diabetes can be reversed in many patients by following a specific protocol focused on nutritional ketosis. Have the diabetics you know tried following the approach documented here under medical supervision?

No, but:

> 60% of patients enrolled one year attained an HbA1c below 6.5% without the use of diabetes medications other than metformin.

60% reversal without medication except for the major frontline medication for type 2 diabetes doesn't make it sound like a miracle cure, tbh. And it's still has the "major lifestyle changes that are typically hard for people" problem.

Did you actually read the research? Results are superior to the use of metformin alone.

No one claimed that the treatment protocol is a miracle cure, so you're arguing against a strawman. But the results show that it does work well for many patients. They literally did make those major lifestyle changes, with support from their healthcare providers.

If you know a type-2 diabetic then I would at least point this out as an option. Some of them might choose to pursue it as an alternative to permanent dependence on exogenous insulin which doesn't even address the root cause of the condition.
