Do you believe in the K/AK formula for someone with non-meds/T2Diabetes?
Tomorrow I will begin a keto diet.
I am trusting in the K/AK formula(*) to think that I am balancing the macros in such a way that I can guarantee that I will enter in ketosis in future time.
One specific feature in my case is that I have a type 2 diabetes. An 30-day average measurement is 135 mg/dl in the morning (fasted). I do not use any meds (neither insulin, metmorphin, etc).
Another specific feature is that I am at 41 BMI condition (morbidly obese)
1)Does anybody could get success in terms of lowering the fasted blood sugar?
2)Does anybody could get success in terms losing weight in the same condition (type 2D wo meds, morbidly obsee) in keto?
3)For the ones who answered 'yes' for the previous questions:
3.1) How much time could you got success in less than 100 mg/dl morning-fasted readings?
3.2) How much time could you got success in lose a 10% of your initial bodyweight?

(*)
The K/AK formula(1) is a math process that is performed with the macros (P: protein; F: fat; C: carbos). It is considered a keto-condition any K/AK index equal or greater than 1,5.
K/AK index = (0,9 * F + 0,46 * P) / (C + 0,1 * F + 0,58 * P)
Such formula was used since 1920s decade as an alternative treatment for children with epilepsy. But Lyle McDonald(2) also mentions such formula as a reference to check if your diet is ketogenic or not, because protein can also increase blood sugar through gliconeogenesis.
