I like some Greek food, but it seems to be loaded with carbs (pita, hummus, rice, etc.) so it does not seem a good idea for a diabetic to have very much of.

Hummus is chick peas and you can make your own. Substitute pita for those keto small street tacos—a little expensive but gives a bread product or use lettuce leaf 🥬 for bread. We diabetics face this problem constantly

Saganaki and lamb are fine. Also, Greek food by design does not add sugar, except for dessert, where they make up for it. Greek salads are about as good as salads get for people who aren't fond of typical green salads. (hint, lots of olives).

I would think that the full Greek Menu would have numerous options that are friendly for diabetics.
