I have been T2 Diabetic for nearly 2 years. Over that time I have almost got my levels back to normal.
Experiance tells me that we are all different so what works for one may not for another.
I found keeping a food diary and taking regular (5 x a day) Blood Sugar readings at home, I quickly learnt what foods affected levels of Blood Sugar.
As soos as I was diagnosed I stopped eating potatoes, flour, wheat, white pasta and junk food.
I consumed lots of vegetables using the plan of only eating vegetables that grow above groung, brocoli, cabbage, cauliflower etc.
I stopped sugar and eating sweets products plus sugary drinks. I now drink a lot of water have 2-3 cups of tea and one coffee per day.
Cheese works well for me - the theory is that the carbs are release slowly so the body can cope better.
I stopped all processed meat and only consumed fresh meat. Chicken is best for me but beef, pork and lamb can be tolerated.
It was a long process to get BS levels down but as I perservered things got better.
There are diets on the internet, but I think it is down to the individual to asses what works best.
I did find that if I felt hungry fresh nuts work well especially almonds and walnuts. They are both healthy and you dont need many to feel hungry.
I apologise for not providing detailed recipes but as I say we are all different.
If you would more information on my situation please feel free to ask and I will help where I can.
Good luck, be patient and experiment.

Thank you very much for your reply. It's very helpful as I have no idea where to start. I will do a research of the foods to avoid and power food for Diabetes. Then I can make a list for him.
My dad loves sweets and desserts. I will try to advise him to eat instead more fruits. And thank you for the advice about the almonds and walnuts as he always feels hungry.
Thank you!
