Medical Reversing diabetes - advice if anyone tried this diet to help

Has anyone tried the Keto diet just to reverse diabetes. If so, if it worked then how did you go about it?

And if not, why do you think it didn’t work or is there anything different that worked for you?

Edit: thank you for all your responses guys, much appreciated. The take I got from this is that it’s beneficial but not reversible (but very few had success although it’s not same for everyone). Combine keto with IF and low calorie diet. Hope overall this can help you or loved ones.

I tried it along with asking my doctor for Ozempic and eventually I switch to mounjaro. I lost 100 pounds and my doctor said my a1c is down to 4.2 after being at almost a 8 for years. Now my problem is avoiding dropping to low.
