I am not a diabetic and of course you should consult with a doctor. But I never eat carbs without at least a small amount of protein and fat. So for instance, for breakfast I have a fruit smoothie with either some regular plain yogurt or protein powder and raw nuts added. Or oatmeal, half a grapefruit and a poached egg. For lunch, a big green salad with grilled chicken and a bit of avocado. I try to avoid anything processed, including processed flour. You get the picture......

I also agree with adding some strength training. Weights and bands work. Yoga is also great for strength. Good luck!
