Oats (especially jumbo oats) are good slow release food - which I believe is good from a diabetic angle?
If you have a shop locally that sells one, get a really good muesli - the kind that has big oat flakes, lots of seeds and nuts and dried fruit and no sugar/honey/milk/small dusty bits of grain.
We have a local whole food that sells their own premium brand in large sacks (which makes it very good value in spite of being the most expensive one they have when in small quantities).
There may well be something similar near to you. Look for the stuff that doesn't come in pretty branded boxes, but the stuff they pack themselves, either loose or in clear plastic packets.
'whole food' not 'health food'. Fibre is a plus for diabetics (and everyone else for that matter.)
I introduced my non-muesli eating friend to the good stuff a couple of weeks ago - total convert!
Another option if you aren't in a hurry is porridge. Not Reddibrek -that's designed to cook fast, so has small flakes. Buy jumbo porridge oats and make your own. Takes a bit longer, but tastes better and is better for you.
