It’s doable, but very difficult. Requires supplements.
Protein sources are critical in this approach, I would map out the DIAAS scores of the protein sources to make sure it is complete.
A complicating factor is it’s very difficult to hit the micro targets and protein targets and keeping the carbs <20g, so many of the vegan approaches are low carb <100g and not ketogenic
Read The China Study and the work by Dr Neal Bernard. Type 2 diabetes can be reversed (not always, but it can be) or reduced. My mum had her dose of type 2 meds reduced by about half when she went on a plant based diet, because her blood sugar went too low on her regular dose.
Traditional Indian omni diet. You don’t need to go low carb. In fact the desired ratio is 80% carbs, 10% protein, 10% fat. She still had grains and other carbs. It’s about the type of carbs (slow digesting). For example bread will nearly always be high GI because the yeast has done the digestion for you. Whereas white pasta will be lower, because it takes a long time to digest. Carbs are good, as long as it’s the right type of carbs.
People who say they’ve reversed their diabetes by going low carb haven’t reversed it, because it would come right back if they ate carbs. It’s like saying I made my arm fireproof by not holding a flame to it. Whereas going high fibre, low fat, low GI will allow you to still eat carbs without sugar spikes.
As I said, look into the work of Neal Barnard, who has reversed type 2 diabetes without cutting carbs and without any other lifestyle changes besides diet.

I’m not sure what you mean by "direct"ing you to a diet.
“Eat low amounts of carbohydrates in a plant-based diet.” Is that direction enough?

I think the !plantbased@lemmy.dbzer0.com community is where you need to go to have productive discussions of the plant based options.
Personally I’m biased and I moderate the !carnivore@lemm.ee and !ketogenic@dubvee.org communities.
