I've been type 2 for about 6 years and was really struggling in the last year - A1c hit 13, I was miserable and constantly felt like shit. Being in quarantine probably didn't help much.
Finally decided to explore cutting down on carbs (dirty/lazy keto) to under 50g of carbs a day. Most days it's under 30g. I don't exercise as much as I should, but damn have I seen a difference in the last month.
Went from a (daily) average of 300 mg/dl BG (on insulin injection, 25 units nightly) to 133 mg/dl in two weeks - and I have not had an injection in a week! Amazing difference in how I feel - no more painful feet, no brain fog, my energy level is coming back to what feels like me. I'm actually excited about the progress, rather than depressed about the accelerating decrepitude. I have new motivation to manage this. And I don't miss the carbs :)
