I can't take this page seriously. It entirely fails to mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coand%C4%83_effect

Do you find that this requires an unusual amount of self-control? I have no reason to manage my food intake, but in the limited times where I have I've found it quite difficult

No, I do not. My father was a diabetic who did not take good care of himself. He died quite young, so I have a negative model that I'm trying to avoid.

For type-2 diabetes, various forms of dietary therapy such as nutritional ketosis have proven extremely effective in reducing or even eliminating many patients' need for exogenous insulin. But we usually refer to that as putting the condition into remission rather than a "cure".

This.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about two and a half years ago. After doing some research, I put myself on a strict keto diet. Within about a month, my A1C went from over 13 to hovering around 6 and has stayed there. Never took any diabetes medication.

I do give myself a "vacation" from the diet about once a month, which I usually reserve for a special occasion.

It depends on what you mean by "replace". If you are willing to limit the term to pharmacokinetics then companies like https://www.verisimlife.com are having success there. Full disclosure - I used to work there.

While we're talking about old ships, let me toss in a plug (ha ha) for the Edwin Fox. Not quite so old, but still very interesting history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Fox
