Diabetic Diet help

I am having such issues coming up with acceptable meals for DH now that he’s been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes.  We’re hoping that with some weight loss and exercise that he will be able to go off the pills at some point.  His count was 101 this morning with the pills.  I have SO MUCH to learn…..and I’m just not as young as I used to be.  The poor man is going to soon turn into an egg white omelet!  He is being so good about this, and I really want to do my part to help him.  I’m putting together a binder of recipes and tips that I’ve found, bought 4 or 5 low carb cookbooks, but it all takes time to get it into some kind of working plan.  Does anyone have any stand-bys that you use for different meals?  Any help greatly appreciated.   I am such a problem child!!!  Thanks for any input
