I'm a t1dm, have been for >9y. I'm been doing keto for 6-7, intermittent fasting / one-meal-a-day for 2.5, carnivore for 1.5. Nonetheless, I started with all that jazz post-honeymoon. I take insulin, and I don't believe a 'cure' is ever the right word with regard some more complicated diseases. Treating symptoms != cure.

A lady from Hungary (interview in [1]) and her team have published studies[2] about several cases of newly diagnosed type-one diabetics fulling forgoing(!) insulin medication, or any medication for that matter, for relatively long periods (1-1.5y, I believe she said in the interview), given they strictly fow the diet- it being a very low carbohydrate one. One had not followed, relapsed into carbs 2-3w into it and he had to go back to insulin. It's no long-term study, but it's better than nothing, and from my acquaintances, and online readings, @1.5y honeymoon phase should have fizzled out.

Anyways, the initial period seems to be crucial, a lot of research focuses on what can be done then, and the one's who've had it some time [3]. Lowering insulin is one thing, the other benefits are major too- stable, predictable bg levels forever; better mood, energy; restriction diets help you notice what exactly might have previously you bloated, gassy, get heartburn, mouth dryness, etc.; yadda yadda. The bald puerorican biochemis from [4] gives rather slowly the details of how a pure carb diet would work - his ins/carb ratio was something insane-, of both of them, really-, like ~1/26. Compare with my ~1/1.7

The interviewer is a bit annoying, but I can't remember off the top of my head of other sources, so apologies.
