I have no personal experience with Type 2 Diabetes but, this sounds like a discussion you may want to have with your physician.
I am a firm believer when what we eat changes due to illness or anything of the like, there is NO being careful. We make a lifestyle change, when we make this change there is no real turning back. Value your health! We work so hard to enjoy our lives, not to pay off doctor bills.
Please know, I am not a "food or drink prude" anyone who reads my posts will know that, but, my numbers are good. I make healthy choices everyday, no exceptions. My quality of life depends on my health, and darn it, life it good! Be good to yourself.
All the best in whatever you choose!
