#107689,

I am sure that what you have said is true re' the consumption of a high protein diet in the treatment of diabetes.

Alot also depends on the "type" of carbohydrates: processed, or in their natural state.................

This is the experience of Dr Joel Fuhrman MD.

The Diet That Defeats Diabetes................

"How can we lower high glucose levels, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lose weight and not need to take drugs such as insulin and sulfonylureas which cause weight gain?
Here is the simple answer—the best diet for humans to live longer in superior health is also the best diet for one with diabetes. That is a diet with a high nutrient per calorie ratio as described in my books, Eat To Live and Eat For Health. When one eats a diet predominating in nature’s perfect foods—green vegetables, beans, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic, raw nuts and seeds and limited amount of fresh fruit, it becomes relatively easy for people to eat as much as they want and still lose weight relatively quickly. This includes lots of great tasting food and great recipes, but no oil, butter, cheese, flour or sweets. My experience has demonstrated that those choosing to follow my nutritional recommendation will have their diabetes controlled astonishingly fast even before they have lost most of their excess weight".

A plant-based diet no less, although I am sure you are correct in your experiences of a high protein diet as well.
I remember reading only recently though that a diet that is high protein, and mostly consisting of meat creates undue stresses on the kidneys, but this I suppose referred to cooked and not raw-meat consumption.
