Most commercial peanut butter does, indeed, have added sugars. However, most grocery stores will carry one or two brands that are "No Sugar Added," such as Adams all-natural no sugar added or Marantha organic peanut butter. Also, many grocery stores will also have a "grind your own fresh" peanut butter, where you get pure, fresh, no-sugar-added peanut butter. For most of these, though, you will be looking at around 5 grams net carbs for 2 Tbsp of peanut butter.
Alternatives include Almond butter and Soy nut butter (which there is a company that makes a Low-carb Soy Nut Butter, but I don't know the particulars on that)
