Hi @Markbluemoon , welcome to the forum.

Most T2's on this forum reduce their carb intake. Carbs are turned into glucose in the body so fewer carbs + lower blood glucose.
A bit more on how T2 and low carb works is written by one of our members, you can read it here: https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html

However, your profile says you're on medication but it doesn't say what medication. If you're only on metformin you can experiment with your food all you like, no risk of your blood glucose going too low.
But if you are on some other medications this might be a risk.
