Just do keto diet. Assuming T2D. Its the easiest disease it fixes.
Some people cant have it all in life. You gotta sacrifice. The carbs in our case.

I started keto in June of 24, lost 50lbs and added a compounded version of Ozempic in November to get through the holiday season with a little extra help. I'm on a fairly low dose, 50mg/week, and it's working tremendously. I've lost another 25lbs up to now and it's about 10x times easier to stick with keto, macro logging, and calorie tracking.
I feel like even with keeping my calories to about 1500/day I'm just fine, and the cravings for sweets and over indulging just aren't in my head.
There are different keto diets.
The epilepsy version is indeed hard to maintain, but can be life changing (increase life quality in epilepsy, bipolar, schizophrenia etc)
The T2D version is way easier. If you studdy it or get a coach, you will know all the pitfalls. But its like therapy, you need to want it yourself. Cant be forced into it.
When I last looked up the literature, Keto diet was one of the least effective interventions.
That is, if you follow it, I'm sure it works.
But the vast majority of people drop out of keto diets very quickly. So it's lousy advice and an unsuccessful intervention.
It's a bit like saying to a patient "you gotta sacrifice -- you should doing 3 hours a day of cardio". If they do follow through with it, it will work. But the vast majority of people won't be able to maintain doing that.
