actually this worked for me, I had high blood sugar and high blood pressure and I solved both with low carbs diet and eating healthy. It's like the article say, eating healthy will help no matter what but yeah it's hard to stop eating junk.

high carb diet works too. there's no junk food. there's nothing junky in a hamburger. on the other hand, it is unhealthy if you eat hamburger every day or so. http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/myths/ http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/myths/ here's american diabetes association recommending a normal healthy high-carb diet with low GI foods. it is also advised, funnily, that fruit consumption shouldn't be restricted.

  I'd warn people not to pay too much attention to the advice that the american diabetes association provides. The targets it recommends are well known to cause damage to the body (you should be avoiding anything above a BG of 140 at any time) and it's dietary recommendations are contrary to the advice I've ever received from anyone that has had good results maintaining diabetes. Just to pick up on the two points you mention, I would never consume fruit unless accompanied by exercise and a low-carb diet is recommended by any consultant or nutrionist that I've ever spoken to.

    The mainstream medical community's slowness in coming to grips with the role of simple carbs in the diet has been shameful.

    Nutritionist is probably a pseudoscientist, because there's no such a thing as a nutritionist anywhere near science. http://www.badscience.net/2007/02/the-truth-about-nutritionists-2/ http://www.badscience.net/2007/02/the-truth-about-nutritioni... You are giving us anecdotal advice and advice of an unknown authority that can be questioned. American diabetes association provides its advice given the vast amount of evidence that high-carb diets work for lowering or eliminating the symptoms of diabetes. Pretty easy to sift through all that beautiful evidence. The fear of sugar is unfounded. But I guess people would rather live in fear than just eat healthy. https://scholar.google.hr/scholar?hl=en&q=high+carb+diabetes+diet&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= https://scholar.google.hr/scholar?hl=en&q=high+carb+diabetes... of course, there's evidence that low-carb also works, ketogenic too, and paleo even, and all fad diets alike. that's because they are in many ways healthier than what the diabetes patients had before but that doesn't mean they are objectively superior to diets with all various foods without no restriction. these diets, unfortunately, very often cause orthorexic tendencies, where people become obsessed with the substances they are consuming, they demonize foods (hamburgers, french fries, sugar, etc.), they think there's something natural, organic, healthy or unhealthy, despite the "fact" all foods are healthy, and only diets can be unhealthy.
