Foods like Stute Jams etc I avoid Like the plague My Policy is to avoid as much Sugary Stuff as Possible because I know I am going to fail I am human I will at things that will become sugar even if I don't eat any Most stute products labelled No Sugar Added have between 50 and 60 carbs if you check will keep your Sugar Levels upI'm determined to find out what's out there at the moment re lower carb commercially available foods that are reasonably easy to get hold of - please add to my list to help fellow diabetes sufferers. I'm starting with these 3:-
Lidl 85g High Protein rolls (NOT the low GI? ones)
Oppo Ice Cream
Stute (low sugar) jams
Err, eggs. They are produced commercially, come in boxes and are widely available.

But to be slightly more serious.A lot of us have used this way of eating to avoid "commercially" produced food and to get back to eating more "real" food. So eggs meat fish etc with some green veg forms the basis of my food intake with very exceptional things like Oppo ice cream as a rarity.Well I never ! Wasn't looking for stuff like meat, fish, eggs etc but then I guess you've been clever enough to work that one out.

If you are actually asking for foods specifically identified as being "low carb" or "diabetic friendly", then you may need to tread very carefully as much of it may very well not be. The only thing my diabetic nurse got right when she advised me on diet, was to avoid the stuff labelled as "DIabetic" like the plague, and I've seen specialist ready meals labelled and sold as "ketogenic" which have more carbs in a portion than I might generally eat in a day...
A large proportion of what we eat and can buy in most supermarkets or corner shops is perfectly suitable for low carb diets anyway, though not generally labelled as such. e.g. Ocado have an "Easy to Cook" range, many (but not all) of which are quite suitable, and ready to pop into the oven or microwave. Just read both the full nutritional labelling and check the list of ingredients for any "nasties" then decide how it might fit in with your chosen carb levels and dietary choices.
I tend to agree with @bulkbiker - I prefer to stick with the normal foods that I can buy for my low carb diet rather than wanting low carb alternatives to high carb foods, but I do actually include a few (what I consider "necessary") alternatives on my shopping lists.

These are the items that spring to mind
Hi lo bread
Josephs pitta breads / lavash bread
Aldi paleo muesli
Aldi dark choc flavour nut & sea salt or peanut bars
Erythritol
Stevia drops
I generally cook my own meals from scratch using fresh produce, organic where possible
I agree with people who have said that ‘ natural’ foods are best, but disgree quite stongly with what is sometimes defined within ultra low carb circles as being ‘natural’. Pork scratching taste to me of rancid oil, Dairy foods such as milk, cream etc are undoubtably natural for baby cows but not for humans, the same goes for things derived from them (i.e. cheese and yogurt).
I wasn't - I specifically wanted to include a general comment regarding care when choosing certain processed foods on a low carb diet.I was careful with my wording - don't read too much into it
Just go to the lowcarbmegastore.
