I think the term bodybuilder has grown beyond "huge proffesional" and most people on bodybuilding forums are not competitors nor will they ever really be huge and bulky. May as well close up shop if being a bodybuilder means "diet without limits", "bulking", and being "huge". It's a label people use to define their primary goals but within that there are many degrees and parallel goals.
With type 2 diabetes there are many individuals differences and not all diabetics are completely unable to handle carbs nor or they all dependent on insulin or even glucose controlling meds.
To really answer such a question would require medical advice and the advice of a proffessional athletic trainer, detician, etc. would be good.
A diabetic will have many obstacles but there is more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. The idea that if a person can't spend a good portion of every year looking like a bloated whale they may as well not bother is a fairly silly notion, imo.
This question is also centered on a need for supplements. Whether or not one can tolerate supplements is NOT a make or break proposition. It's the least of a diabetic's worries.
My answer is YES, a diabetic can bodybuild. He or she should prioritize their general health first and then focus on being the best they can be, regardless if this fits somebody elses schema of what a bodybuidler is or isn't. Go for it. Be careful, and take care of yourself and your diet. Seek professional advice if you can.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
