You can do light bread, lower carb, but more expensive. Or open faced sandwiches.

Basically meat and veggies are low carb. I don't know how many carbs you can do with gest diabetes

For sure! Low carb does not equal no carb. You just change it up. Whole wheat is better than white, limiting how many servings, and portion control.

Whole wheat is exactly the same, just not bleached. Whole grain is better... Slightly.

Whole milk has less carbs btw.  

How expensive is cauliflower? It's used in practically every meal when I'm eating super low carb. Cauliflower fauxtatoes are yuuuuummy!

I use it in place of spaghetti noodles when I make spaghetti for my family. I just put the sauce right on top of the cauliflower. I don't even miss the pasta, at all. Yum

Wow I haven't done that. I've only heard of using spaghetti squash. I'ma have to try it!

I use to eat pork rinds like they were going out of style when I first tried the atkins diet with my dad. They are still a decent snack even when your not trying to do low carb no carb diet.
