As you probably know, you can be a junk food vegan and that's not healthy at all.

This guy, a doctor, has some excellent videos on reversing metabolic syndrome and diabetes through diet, mainly avoiding sugars.

Another good idea is to fast for 12 hours out of every 24, like 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Gives blood sugar and insulin levels time to go down, and that helps with appetite control. Insulin is the thing that keeps us hungry, and type 2 diabetics usually have more insulin than other people due to insulin resistance.
