it’s impressive how inaccurate you’re able to be in so few comments!
There’s a reason we regularly do pre-diabetes screening and education… and why we focus so much on lifestyle changes during the reversible period of T2DM.

many people are also able to control T2DM with only basal insulin (i.e. long acting insulin that isn’t bolused at meals)

No one’s arguing against low carb diets being effective in managing T2DM. However, your assessment that eliminating sugar from a diet will reverse T2DM is only accurate in early stages of the disease.
At some point, insulin insensitivity cannot be reversed with lifestyle changes alone, and is certainly not “best achieved” with such changes.
