I, too, am at a high risk- I've seen members of my family slowly move from "abnormal fasting blood sugar" to "type 2 diabetic" over the span of a decade.
What I'm working on for myself is a set of scripts to take all the data I have about my diet and my blood glucose and making a chart of blood sugar fluctuation. Think fitday+ blood glucose readings + gnuplot. I'm using it to figure out what exactly is driving changes in BG levels.
I think that there's a great amount of insight to be had if OP can aggregate a few thousand, or 10's of thousands users diet and blood sugar readings, specially when the users are at the cusp of "abnormal blood sugar" and "full blow diabetes".
Sad to hear mate – sometimes I'm happy I'm t1 myself, not t2.
I worked a research project back at the uni, where we set up an analysis tool for diabetics. The amount of data was a sore lack for researchers. You can hook up w/ roche et al, they have the data but it's kinda locked up.
Lemme know how you come along with the visualization and concept! @fdebong or fd at mysugr dot com.

I'm aiming for a chart like the one here: http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/16422495.php
