I do NOT have a medical training, so the following is not medical advice.
Good News: The following TED talk and supporting information tell us that Diabetes Type 2 is NOT a disease that gets progressively worse for the rest of your life. Thousands of people by dietary intervention has become FREE of diabetes symptoms, and stopped diabetes medication completely. (This doesn't mean they have necessarily cured their diabetes, but so long as they sustain the diet and the weight loss, they are diabetes free.")
This video tells us that the excess glucose in our blood is the problem. In fact the problem is the increasing amount of insulin in the blood, and the body tries is desperation to get rid of the excess glucose. The solution is to remove the original glucose spike.
The video also assumes that there is capacity inside the cells for more glucose to be stored as glycogen. That may not be the case. Glycogen stores may already be full, especially in non-active people.
In the long run, the excess insulin stores the glucose as adipose tissue (fat).
With a well formulated low-carbohydrate diet, diabetes patients should be able to develop very flat blood glucose levels, and avoid all medication for diabetes. (Please do this with your doctors supervision.)

Can a person be "cured" of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.
This unhelpful video is from Healthline. The video assumes that type two diabetes cannot be cured. The video does get it right, in making the claim that dietary control of glucose is helpful.
How to Cure Type 2 Diabetes
Jay Wortman, MD, tells the story of how he got rid of his rampant type 2 diabetes, using a simple dietary change. Ten years later he is still free from the disease and needs no medication. He just stopped eating the foods that turn to sugar in the body.
