I am a type 2 and that type of diet will push my blood sugar up over 300 for
sure. I have to eat carbs. Just not too many carbs. If I am making a
casserole, I will always pad it out with something less carby like green
beans.

Dunno about yogurt as I don't like it or eat it.

That's not entirely true about the fruit. Most fruit is pretty high in
carbs. Oranges and bananas are probably the worst as is dried fruit. Berries
have less carbs per serving than other fruits.
