Pissed off at the "advice" propagated by the officials, generally runs along the lines eat plenty of carbs multiple times a day.
Several things wrong with this, namely the body is f**ked if you are in a state where you can no longer use insulin correctly, so throwing more insulin spiking objects at the body is really stupid, basically with type II diabetes you've eaten yourself into a pit of resistance, where the receptors no longer respond to the same amount of insulin, therefore a greater amount needs to be released to deal with the same problem, after a while the pancreas will get worn out and start to struggle to produce anoth to cover the influx of calories, and start to fail. This is where type 2 goes from oral tablets to aid glucose transport, to needing insulin to be injected.
I myself was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, around 19-20 Weeks ago, and on the day went to a very strict diet of tins of tuna around 4-6 tins a day for 4 days (was blending them and drinking after the 1st day, couldn't stand the taste) then added a main meal consisting of cheap fatty cut of meat (chicken wings generally) around a 1kg or so. And swapped tuna for whey protein (much cheaper, and alot safer lower chance of ingesting heavy metals). Also I forgo the prescribed medication (the side affects were too extreme).

Within a week I had managed my diabetes, so much so that my blood sugar results when from over 7 to 5.4 mmol/L. Which is a massive improvement.
I became this way from a on again off again bulk cycle that lasted for over 5 years (mainly on again), Using the GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) diet, which coupled with heavy powerlifting allowed me to go from 90kg to 122.5kg (with some floppy bitch-tits for the bargain) and a squat of 120kg -> 230kg; bench 90kg->152.5kg; Deadlift 200kg ->265kg (all drug free and raw).

Can not recommend the GOMAD diet as I could have probably added all the lean mass I did, but without the fat and health problems, had I just eaten normally (with a little extra protein).
I still have slight gynocmasitic-bitch-tit-i-tis from this milk excess, even at a 12% body fat (makes me look fatter than I am, at least from the front).
I only cut my weight during this period for skiing trips that happened once a year, except this last year. Also what probably instigated this affliction was the massive amount of alcohol I used to drink (even I think it was excessive and I'm Irish-English).
So within this 19-20 weeks I took my bodyweight from 117.7kg to 107.4kg and a body fat percent of around 18-20% to 11%.
In the last week I have gained some weight due to being able to squat heavy again (legs regrowing), I have had gout and a slightly messed up disc in my lumbar, in the past 19 weeks or so, preventing proper training.
My present weight is 109.5kg BF%=12% (not surprising for me as I ate a sh*tload of junk food yesterday) gives me a lean bodyweight of around 95kg.
By the way I check my body fat percent on the incredible website scoobysworkshop.com (click to follow link), and calipers (got mine from Idass, works well, accurate to 0.05mm).

And as I have not really been going much lower in body fat for a while, I will alter my diet to accelerate the loss. At the moment I will probably create a plan using the principles of the "Apex Predator Diet" as written by Jamie Lewis' which can be found on his always entertaining and thought provoking, if not sometimes revolting blog = chaosandpain.blogspot.co.uk (warning this site is not suitable for work or kids). He himself is incredibly lean and fantastically strong.

I've kinda lost the plot here, but anyway....
In conclusion...
DO WHATEVER THE F**K YOU WANNA DO (quote - twinmuscleworkout - hodge twins)
But I would look into the positive results regarding reduce carbohydrate diets for the management of diabetes. Here is one such clinical trial that shows some promise towards this form of dieting =
