For T2 diabetics, I recommend porridge for breakfast. Porridge oats (nothing whatsoever added) and skimmed milk (no sugar, no golden syrup, no maple syrup, no sweeteners of any kind and, in the interest of avoiding hypertension, no salt) - low G.I., calcium-rich, good for heart-health. For a treat, and to add a bit of variation, I sometimes chuck a few blueberries and/or raspberries in, but I never use sugar or any kind of sugary sweetener - as with tea and coffee sans sweetener, you get used to the taste of the unsweetened product, and the sweetened version eventually tastes like poison. ;-)
