I agree with that, but just from personal experience I was pre- Diabetes Type2 with an A1C of 6.7.
Doc wanted to put me on Metformin, a nasty drug. I said give me a few months to alter my diet.
I went Keto (low carb 20 g per day) and in 6 months my A1C dropped to 4.9.
All my other numbers were excellent and I dropped 30 lbs.
I've always been walking 1 to 2 miles per day but it was the elimination, mostly, of carbs that
solved my issue.
I do have a cheat day a week where I will have a little pasta or a slice or 2 of pizza but for the
most part I stick to the low carb keto diet.
It doesn't work for everyone, but worked for me.
You have to keep an eye on your cholesterol though. Mine climbed a little but then stabilized in
the good range.
Best wishes, and Happy New Year.
