This here non sugar eater was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a week ago and immediately put on Metformin. Going through everything in the fridge and pantry, simple(r) carbs are all getting donated. Many of which I had just bought. Major changes underway as I get rid of a lot of my favorite foods and look for what I can eat. Currently the medication is thankfully keeping me from going into the toxic 300+ mg/dl range and out of the hospital. More tests to have done next week.

no sugar, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes
take about 30-40 grams of fiber supplements per day, because that reduces glucose spikes

I've lowered carbs due to being on weight watchers, and have used the riced cauliflower/broccoli combos to some success as a rice replacement. The Squash zoodles as a pasta replacement has been less of a success, but not terrible.
Are you supposed to go zero carbs or just limit them?

There's no need to go hungry. My wife is diabetic and makes a lot of things with almond and coconut flour. She also uses Swerve sweetener instead of sugar, which is indistinguishable from real sugar. It also comes with regular or "brown sugar" flavored. Her blood sugar was over 300 when she was first diagnosed, but is usually down around 100 now. You can also use riced cauliflower instead of rice, and spiral-cut zucchini for pasta.

I did cook up a bunch of pinto beans. Made some ham and bean soup and southwest ham and beans. The ham was smoke cured not sugar cured.
I also have some turkey and noodle soup in the freezer but they are the egg noodles. Therefore I eat those soups in moderation........

Oof... sorry to hear that. Hope the med works well for you, and you don't have to get too crazy restrictive long term

I dropped sugars (e.g. sugar content of Ginger Ale is over 100%) and carbs and lost about 30 Lbs and dropped blood sugar to under 120. Sugar is more addictive than heroin
Stay strong!

One bit of good news is dark chocolate helps to reduce glucose and dark chocolate (60% + of cacao) is the only kind of chocolate I like. Combine it with unsalted nuts and that's some powerful "medicine".
Oh and I was already down 60 pounds when I was diagnosed.
