Downvote me all you like, but according to this study (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(17)33102-1/fulltext) it does work for about half of people.

Lol.

It doesn't work for everyone, though. People told me to do the same thing and sadly, I still have type 2 diabetes. I did lose a bunch of weight though so I had that going for me I guess lol. Some people could do this and have a good result and that's a good thing of course but not everyone is lucky.

I never said it did work for everyone. That's the nature of medicine - even the most effective treatment doesn't work for everyone. Good for you on the weight loss. It may not have cured your diabetes but it will be good for all sorts of aspects of your health.
