My personal experience.....
Conventional medical wisdom says diabetes type II is a chronic, progressive disease.

Scientists uncover a hidden type of diabetes in newborns
Summary: Researchers have discovered a rare new type of diabetes that affects babies early in life. The condition is caused by changes in a single gene that prevent insulin-producing cells from working properly. When these cells fail, blood sugar rises and diabetes develops, often alongside neurological problems. The findings help explain a long-standing medical mystery and deepen understanding of diabetes overall.

So, above suggests something at the cellular/gene level is happening for some unknown reason.
Now, off topic below but it illustrates a microbes/food relationship, at least for one person
Summary: Some people get drunk without drinking because their gut bacteria produce alcohol from food. Researchers have now identified the microbes and biological pathways behind this rare condition, auto-brewery syndrome. Tests showed patients’ gut samples produced far more alcohol than those of healthy people. In one case, a fecal transplant led to long-lasting symptom relief.

RE: "All by changing what I eat. Or don't eat."
This suggests something to do with microbes in your GI tract, and food consumed.
There is active research on microbes in GI tract, but I believe this AI snippet is relevant:
"Your GI tract hosts a vast, unique ecosystem called the gut microbiome, filled with trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes that are crucial for digestion, immunity, and even mental health, though their balance can shift with diet, medications, and disease, impacting overall well-being. Beneficial microbes aid nutrient absorption, produce short-chain fatty acids, and train the immune system, while an imbalance (dysbiosis) can contribute to digestive issues, autoimmune problems, and other conditions" |
