   None of this is intended to be medical advice. Consult your own practitioner.

   This is publicly available, but to understand Dr. Fung's entire thesis on obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (along with his entire destruction of the prevailing mainstream treatment protocols for T2D) in particular, it is necessary to read his book, "The Diabetes Code".

   I've been following the protocol from The Diabetes Code for about 2 months. Objectively: 10lbs lost, key metrics are improved, medications deleted and a Type 2/inflammation related vision ailment objectively healing. I guess I need to say, I have no association with this doctor, receive no monetary benefits. Prior to that, working with an endocrinologist, my stats were deteriorating and my symptoms worsening.

   Why is the advice "Try to maintain a healthy weight?" Just maintain it. Sure, some people are genetically predisposed to obesity, but we should stop coddling the rest. Obesity puts you at 300% risk for cancer and several other lethal diseases. A great place to start is by not spending money on drinks that contain sugar and carbs - drink water. The recipe for healthy weight is 85% diet (less carbs) and 15% exercise (elevated heart rate).

   That’s interesting about fat and potatoes. Didn’t know that. Another similar thing is vinegar. It slows gastric emptying and keeps the spikes lower (eg french fries with malt vinegar).

   You can test fructosamine which I believe is a 2 week avg. or you could do finger pokes or even a CGM if you got the ability. [1]

   I personally enjoyed The diabetes code by Jason Fung. He’s a nephrologist in Canada. Good luck in your diabetes journey! Luckily you seem interested which is such a distinction.

   The Diabetes Code is a great book about reversing diabetes through dietary intervention. The author discusses exactly what you're saying here: surprisingly few doctors know how effective a low-carb diet is at treating and curing type 2 diabetes.
