Here's a protocol from a small study where 90+% reversed their T2D. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12916-025-04072-4

tl;dr it's everything you expect - home-cooked healthy meals, avoid sugary stuff, moderate exercise five days per week, etc

You skipped over the part where they were also still taking the standard hypoglycemic agents - in other words, medications to manage blood glucose. The study also tracked people who were both obese and newly diagnosed as diabetic. It says so in the conclusion.

Also, remember not everyone with T2 is obese, not everyone obese has T2D, and obesity doesn’t mean a little overweight. These are people with a BMI of 30 or higher. Other, lesser-used definitions from the past included a certain percentage of body weight consisting of fat. There are many people with Type 2 who are normal weight or overweight.
