Unfortunately I don't know about diabetes but I have practiced low carb for quite a while!. Here are some of the things I use to keep healthy and low carb:
1) Turkey Breast from the Deli (Sometimes wrapped in a low carb / high fiber tortilla)
2) Sugar free jello! Totally free food
3) Nuts (unsalted, bulk)
Hope these help!. I use a ton of fruits and veggies in my diet!.!.!. but you discussed these already!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the best thing you can use is peanut butter and jelly and you can use welch or something tastey!. it will cure the sugar part and it is good for you and you will no longer crave as much sweets as you may think and it helps!. it is good for you also no matter cause the jellys with out sugar as they say aren't as good and in fac tthey sometimes have more sugar then regular ones!. with bread!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I like lightly or unsalted nuts; cashew, almonds or pistachios!. Around 10:00am I eat about 1/4 cup, seems to work!. Jerky works once in while, some are too salty!. I also find yogurt, plain, works is a nice change!.
