Are they sure they are a Type 2?  New adult onset who are very fit & don't

need

to lose weight might be LADA (Latent Autoimmunity Diabetes in Adulthood) which

is a very slow progressive Type 1.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12021090

Most internet information for Type 2 is about losing weight.

If this person is fit and appropriate, weight, they need to follow consistent

carb and low saturated fat, high fiber and low glycemic index for optimal

nutrition side of the management scheme. 

American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) is a good overall site but if some

of the advice may not make sense if this person doesn't need to lose weight or

get in shape.

Other general info sites:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diabetes/DS01121

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/diabetes.html

 dLife.com is a good site for community support and getting questions answered

(affliated with the MSNBC TV show on Sundays).

TuDiabetes.com is a community site (self-help).
