Have been type 2 Diabetic for a number of years and have been looking at my diet and changing the type of foods I eat, in order to get my weight down and keep it down. It's not really about losing the weight, it's more about keeping it off as your weight comes down. Have done the usual thing of doing web searches, what videos on YouTube and reading books and having some recipe books etc., which have all helped. The other thing that needs to be considered when it comes to the meals being eaten is the portion sizes. That is what has given me the most success in keeping the weight off. Whatever foods you end up eating, reducing the amount of carbohydrate in you diet is paramount. It is not practical to totally eliminate carbohydrates from the diet, but the more fibre or roughage you can add into your diet, then this slows down the rate at which your body absorbs the carbohydrate, so you can reduce the rate of sugar going into the blood, so you get a lower blood sugar spike.
