As a disease in one person, AIDS is worse. As an epidemic in the population, diabetes is worse; much more out of control than AIDS.
According to the (full) article, diabetes cannot be defeated with diet change. Delayed, yes; maybe for decades. But not defeated. Live long enough, and it gets you. And if you develop your type 2 at a young age, as more and more are doing, you definitely will live long enough.
The full article also went on to say that the majority of people with Type 2 do a poor job of managing their disease; it's apparently a lot easier said than done.
