Diabetic on a rollercoaster

Hi all, this is my first time asking a question here after going to all kinds of doctors and not getting a unified explanation. My glucose levels go up to 13 and down to 4.5 a few times every day. One doctor told me I have diabetes and should exercise more (which I tried but it made me so tired that I had to take a nap afterwords). The other doctor told me I don't have diabetes, just insulin resistance. My OB/GYN told me it is probably linked to my hormonal imbalance (I am 46 and in perimenopause) and other doctors gave me one or another version of the same thing.

So, my question is this: I know keto can lower the glucose levels but does it actually make it lower and this will drop my lows even more? Or, does it make it more even throughout the day?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am just very new to this.
