Family member is Type 2 diabetic and has been trying keto/low carb diets with little support from their prescribed dietician.

Does anyone have any awesome tips or videos that may help with the transition; mostly considering:
1. They're in their 50s so have to find substitutions especially for habitual snacking that is traditionally carb-centric.
2. Replacement recs for things like potatoes or pasta (even chickpea triggers response)
3. Helpful supplements? Say to expedite return to ketosis

Dietitians will usually say you NEED carbs and doctors prescribe insulin to cover up the negative impact that carbs have on the body. There are tons of keto Facebook groups where your family member could get support and share successes.

Hi there. I don't know if this will help, but I recently went to the doctor and spoke with the nurse and she told me that there is a drug that was created to help individuals with diabetes. The reason I know this is because she said they had such success with it, they created a weight loss injection that helps target insulin resistance. The prescription she gave me was for wegovy, but I'm not sure what the original drug was called. I have PCOS, so she was talking about the benefits from it for my issue (since insulin resistance is a huge downside), but you might be able to figure out what it is called by knowing the medicine created off the first is called wegovy. Good luck!

Dr. Ken Berry is a great source. BTW, I'm 60 and have lost 90 lbs with keto/carnivore; reversed my type 2 diabetes (off all meds), normalized my cholesterol and blood pressure, and eliminated my IBS/recurrent diverticulitis. I feel at least 10 years younger!
