Type one diabetic will only have to increase his insulin to counter the carbs so in reality no harm done. A type two diabetic has to control his diabetes with diet alone and thus has to restrict his carbs according to his dietary requirements.

@hippyjoe1955: thats right!!! type one is where the body doesnt make enough insulin.. type 2 is where there is insulin resistance.

@kronos: exactly there is also a type one and a half. My sister has it and it is very difficult to control.

Depends on the carbs. For example, I've seen oatmeal being recommended to diabetics and it's basically all carb.

It's slowly digested and doesn't spike your blood sugar levels. But for actual scientific information, better just google it.
Well carbs are basically sugar, so yes.
