If you’re going to take the time to correct someone’s comment, you should make sure the information in your comment is correct as well. At the end of the study, 77% of those who had T2D for less than a year achieved remission. It was 51% of the overall cohort, and 20% for those who have been diagnosed for >15 years.

Also worth noting psychosocial support and educational materials were only provided to the low-carb group. They also make reference to the fact that the only other low-carb study that showed similar results also had similar weight loss results. I mean it obviously makes sense for a T2 diabetic to limit carbs because of its direct effect on blood sugar, but glycemic index is far more important and it appears from the results that the effectiveness of a low-carb diet is dependent on early intervention, social support, and weight loss.
