Yeah, there's lots of evidence that keto is very good for type II. I think the current official guidelines are more about what people are willing to do than what is most beneficial. My dad's type II has now progressed to insulin injections. I've tried to get him to go low carb and to give intermittent fasting a shot, but it is a lost cause. I knew a guy who smoked through a tracheostomy tube, he's about the same with food at this point.
