Carbs are probably not the cause of diabetes, but they sure don't help. The worst carbs, of course, are the ones we have available the most. Overly processed bread, pasta and rolls. Then, one must also consider alcohol. Especially beer.
I'm a fat guy, so I'm supposed to get about 300 grams of carbs a day. Here's how I was eating before my doctor told me that if I didn't get it together I'd be lucky to make 50.
Breakfast
2 Eggs
A piece of toast (not whole wheat)
Bacon/ham/sausage
Carb load: 17 grams
Lunch
Hamburger
Fries
Coke
Carb load: 100 grams, plus the bonus 19 grams of sat fat.
Supper
Roast
Mashed potatoes
Bread
Green beans
Carb load: 100 grams
After, before and during dinner drinks
10 Non-lite Beers with popcorn
Carb load: 210 grams
That's a total of 427 grams of carbs. No wonder I was in trouble.

bkumm. Thanks for the diet Bkumm. I think I'll try it. Really, the hamburger should be changed to a cheesburger and 3 eggs make a better breakfast, I think. Also, I assume the "coke" includes a couple of refills in the Jumbo cup. Then too, I should cook the green beans with bacon. Right. Great diet! Thanks! WC

I had a scare with diabetes a couple of months ago. Diabetes is a terrible disease and a scourge of American eating habits. My doctor gave me the stink eye, so I lost thirty pounds, walk every day and quit with the massive amounts of carbs that I was consuming.
My fasting glucose went from 137 to 99 in three months. The doc is still giving me the stink eye, but he's happier than he was. And the doctor is a lot like mamma. If he isn't happy, I'm not happy.

"...there are studies being done and nothing has been proven medically."
Er, is this important to the supplement industry? First I've ever heard of it.

The direct cause of adult onset diabetes is excessive carbs consumption! The recommended in America "Health Pyramid" with its basis of breads, pasta, and other grains(the most profitable for the corporations!) plus enormous amounts of juices and even excess of fresh fruit in the diet - is the reason why most Americans consume 300-500 grams of carbs daily, which about 4-5 times exceeded the daily norm. Look at native Americans, for example! Almost 100 percent of them are now having diabetes, due to Western style of nutrition, while just a couple of generations ago those nations didn't know this disease.
