i feel like it’s reversing my type 2

It is! There is documented evidence of the ketogenic diet reversing T2 diabetes in several subjects. The diet or as I like to call it WOE is lifesaving. Welcome to the team. Let me know if you have any questions or anything else!

Is urine keto approved?

Exactly.

As far as the OPs question goes, best thing to control blood sugar is long duration fasting combined with strict keto. When I say long duration I mean 72 hours of water fasting only.

the biggest thing is you need to keep carbs <20g net carbs daily

This is not true to achieve ketosis

For some people...myself as an example, I’ve been doing this long enough and tested the limits. I can go to ~50g net carbs a stay in ketosis. For someone just starting out to guarantee they are staying in ketosis the guidance is <20g net carbs. This will guarantee you are in ketosis.

I have questions! Is it ok to combine IF with Keto? Someone give me the basics of Keto in layman terms pls....

If you're diabetic and do IF it's important to do it with some form of carbohydrate restriction. If your plan is to say, divide a 6 hour eating window it 3 meals 2 hours apart and you're heavy on the carbs - your blood sugar wont recover enough by the time the next meal and it'll just keep ratcheting up throughout your eating window.

From there there is some debate, as IF will still likely keep your average blood glucose OK (as will be measured by A1C), however there is belief that it's the height and duration of the spikes that ultimately will cause the tissue damage associated with diabetes.

If this is the case, than even if you're sub-100 throughout most of your IF period if you're averaging 180+ throughout your eating window you're not doing yourself any favors, even if by those numbers you're clocking in at a sub-6 A1C.

For non-diabetics and for type-2 diabetics whose endocrine failure is strictly insulin resistance, your insulin level will mirror what blood sugar does in those of us with failing pancreases. If you subscribe to things like the insulin-carbohydrate theory of obesity or inflammation, than you are also best served by restrictin carbohydrate intake as part of an IF regime.
