Can't say for sure!: Rigid adherence to a low carb lifestyle would directly improve your situation, but the weight loss which would occur would benefit you as well. Exercise as well! i would still put you on metformin for better glycemic control. It will also help weight and cholesterol, while lowering a1c!
