When choosing carbs, the focus should be on healthy carb. sources, like fruits and vegetables, along with healthier complex carbs like whole grains.
Healthy carbs. provide fuel for the body and they also contain fiber.
whole grains cannot be identified by the color of the food, look for products that have 5 grams, or 20 percent of the daily value of fiber, per serving.

Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day to provide your body with the minerals and nutrients needed for healthy weight gain before training. Fruits and vegetables contain glucose, which will provide your body with the necessary energy for a successful workout.

All foods may be eaten in moderation if you have diabetes, but too many carbohydrates may increase your blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates break down into sugars easily, so healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes such as beans and peas and low-fat dairy products should constitute the majority of this food group.
As a general guideline when eating low carb the easiest way is to cut out all grains and added sugars. No sweetened foods either. Fruits will be limited to small portions of low carb fruits such as berries.
Plenty of salad and non-starchy vegetables, particularly green vegetables. Fats should come naturally with the foods (such as fatty meats, avocado, nuts, full-fat dairy) and avoid processed fats.

I eat better than I ever have, mostly fruits and vegetables, almost no carbs, very few processed foods. I am not burning fat. I am building muscle, (my clothes are actually tighter), but I am not burning the fat. I don't really care what the scale says, but I would like to know why the fat is not going away. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The 2nd person I know, is still on metformin but she eats, breads (just a little toast, the doctor said she can eat a toast a day, which is asinine if you ask me and other doctors), fruits, vegetables, and has all the side effects that metformin comes with as often as 2-3 times/week. But her doctor says 'It's ok".
PS: I am not a doctor, i'm talking from what I read and I've noticed with people closed to me who were diagnosed with T2 diabetes and put on metformin.
