"All the carbohydrates you eat and drink are broken down into glucose. The type, and amount, you consume can make a difference to your blood glucose levels and diabetes management"

"For example, one person trying to lose weight and manage their blood glucose levels on a low-carb diet would restrict their carb intake, while another person who is happy with their weight may decide to eat more healthy carbs. The total amount of carbohydrate eaten will have the biggest effect on your glucose levels after eating"

"Learn about which foods contain carbohydrates, how to estimate carbohydrate portions and how to monitor their effect on blood glucose levels."

"Generally, lower GI foods can be useful for managing blood glucose levels. More importantly for overall health, choosing foods that are high in fibre and wholegrains instead of refined carbs, such as white bread"

"Try seeds, nuts and pulses as lower carb sources of fibre "

"For people with Type 2 diabetes who may be overweight or obese, reducing the calories you eat helps to lose weight. This can be done through different means including following a low carb diet or simply reducing the current amount of carbs you eat. People have successfully followed low carb diets to lose weight and manage their diabetes including lowering their HbA1c, cholesterol and blood pressure levels as well as reducing the amount of diabetes medications they take."


Literally the top result on Google for "carbs and diabetes".

You are fixating on carbs again... The issue we disagreed on was sugar, or 'sweeties'.
My point was and still is to reverse pre diabetes cutting sugar and sweets would be the initial step.

I can't believe you feel this is such a controversial opinion...
It doesn't mean I don't think that controlling carbs is important in the management of type 2 diabetes or obesity, but that's a different conversation.
