I went the easy way.  I just removed from my diet, anything "white".  Rice, potatoes, pasta, products made with flour.  I also took out peas, and many beans as well.  I replaced them with cheese, olives, nuts, meats, and lots of eggs.  At one time, I was consuming nearly 18 eggs per week.  I've dialed that back to half that now.  Eating "Paleo" works for me.

Look for low carb recipes.
Maybe paleo receipes, also many recipes from mediteranean diet may also be suitable.

There is no "diabetic diet"  its Carbohydrates that cause BG to rise.  So reducing the carbs you eat will help in BG control.  So  I eat salad and steak, veggies, no fruit (fruit has a lot of carbs)  eggs, bacon, cheese, chicken, fish,  garlic, and lots of herbs and spices and hot spices.  There are other diabetic news groups with recipe sections.  Just remember its carbs that raise BG
