This applies to type II diabetics, but not to type I. As a type I diabetic, I would be dead pretty quick without carbs. Proteins and fats can raise blood sugar, but they do it very slowly, so I would have no way to correct low blood sugars before they got out of control.
Minor nitpick, I know, but the two types get conflated often, leading to misinformation. I cannot count how many times people have been surprised that I am diabetic, since I am thin (which is normal, since it is not weight related, and actually leads to weight loss when untreated).
