Plant-based w/low fats & low GI food should work, if you ever decide to move away from keto. Last I read on this, there have been breakthrough cases of diabetes essentially vanishing & insulinoresistance being reversed.

I'll try to link the studies if I can remember later. For what it's worth I'm not diabetic but did keto for 5 years & it was the best I had felt mentally and physically my entire life. That said, keto is also not just "low carb", it's essentially "no carb", and I'd recommend a plant-based diet with proper macronutrients control over it.

Low-carb is extreme. It's also a fad diet. The majority of studies state that as fact. The human body wasn't designed for low-carb. Just because your particular medication requires it doesn't make it less extreme overall.

Proper management of diabetes requires controlling carbs, not eliminating them.

Yes that's true but if you want to get your blood sugar in control quickly going keto which is low carb is the way to go and then control your intake
