Seed oils seem to be hard to avoid. I always try and use pure dairy butter much as I can.So - depending how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole, the 4.7gm sugars sounds great, but I read the ingredients list, and it's full of rapeseed oil, so that's a no-no immediately (as are a depressingly large number of things you find in jars).
I was about your weight - 2 inches taller and at my ideal weight when I was first diagnosed - BMI was fine.. but my triglycerides were off the chart, all my fat was hidden - and (I now know) where it was doing the most damage.
On of the most insidious things about diabetes treatment is the assumption that it's a thing that happens to overweight people, where there is growing evidence that becoming overweight is just one of the possible things that can happen when your hormones are out of balance for long enough.
What that creates is a sense of shock and resistance in the population of people who do not consider themselves overweight, because you get trapped in the thinking of "how can I reverse something I don't exhibit" - whereas once you understand that the problem is excess insulin - that's something you can work with.
The thing with my height is I have a short torso but long legs. My brother who's 6ft has the same leg size as me but taller longer torso.
My brother is also T2 but he has better numbers to me and even went into remission with just 2x500mg Metformin twice daily.
