Can you control type 2 diabetes by simply not eating any sugar or carbs ever?
V
No, that's like installing sprinklers after your house has caught fire. Luckily, type 2 Diabetes is usually not that difficult to control if you catch it in time and there is good and usually inexpensive medicine available that will bring down your sugar levels. Totally avoiding sugar of carbs may then not even be necessary (there's sugar in most foodstuffs anyway) if you combine moderation in your eating (and certainly in your snacking and fast food) habits with a more healthy lifestyle. Taking a half-hour brisk walk every day often will work wonders and it will be less expensive than a gym subscription that you stop using after a few months. Taking a dog that you have to walk each day may help to keep you in that dayly walks-rhythm. But in all cases, go see a doctor and follow his medicine and lifestyle prescriptions.

Eating any food does not cause diabetes. Diabetes is a result of complex interplay between ones genes, immune status, which is also partially genetic, inter-current infection, in some cases, and in most cases obesity. Getting fat brings out the latent tendency if it is there. So overeating any food can contribute. Technically most fruits are off the hook, however, as their principal sugar is fructose, not glucose, which is the sugar which is the culprit in diabetes.
