I am (actually was) T2D. I don't take any medication, right from the start. My GP wanted to put me on Glucophage, and I asked him to give me time to manage my diabetes naturally. He agreed, was very reluctant. Basically, I am low carb high fat. My regular meals consist of low GI veggies (raw and cooked), meat, chicken, fish and lots of fats (tallow, olive oil, butter, kefir, cheese, etc) seeds like sesame and flax-seed and nuts. I do regular exercise (one-hour walks 6 days a week). I ensure good quality sleep. Bread, pasta, sweets, juices, etc., don't figure on my menu. Last Jan. I stopped having fruit.
