Hello. I was wondering if anybody could offer diet advice for better health, especially if they are planned diets. For context, I'm not yet in my 30s and I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic and am trying to look for diet plans that are not gimmicky. I have had some success losing 20 or so pounds over 5 months with just cutting back a lot of excess food and carbs. Made my A1c go down from 8.6 to 6.8. I think I might not yet be insulin dependent. However, I would just feel more secure with a routine to follow (same with exercise, but I will have to address that another day) It is hard to do that, given how commodified diet literature and fitness are. I greatly appreciate your input, especially from those who are in similar situations and might have experience with diet and remission.

    resistant starch isn't digested in the small intestine and turned into glucose, instead its digested as a fatty acid in the large intestine (microbiome sicko face)

    For example eating raw fruits/veg (green bananas etc), soaking raw oatmeal in the fridge overnight, heating and then cooling carb foods like rice or potatoes, might make them less of a glycemic issue
