I am not familiar with the diet in question, but I suggest consulting a nutritionist if you have access to one. Be cautious when looking for diets online, as a diet should be tailored to the individual and drastic changes are not always necessary. It may also be beneficial to consult a kinesiologist. Combining physical activity with good nutrition is much more effective. Most importantly, you seem to have the motivation to reach your goals. Even if you cannot reverse your diabetes, the efforts you make will slow down or stop its progression. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a good day.
