Check out "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
I was diagnosed with type 2 last December (age 27), I weighed 175lbs, my A1C was over 14. They started me on Lantus insulin at 10 units and I was to increase by one unit every other day of my morning reading was above a certain number. I got up to 16 units but then started seeing my glucose readings come down so I weaned my insulin down too (with the blessing to do so from my doctor). By the end of February I weaned myself completely off of it. By April I was down to 153lbs, and my A1C was 5.7 (that's right pre-diabetic).
I can't promise it will work for everyone but it certainly has helped me out!
