From all the diabetic I know, in France, Asia or North America, you're the only one I ever heard of with such recommendation. A friend of mine in France was actively advised _against_ a low-carb diet to control her diabetes. She did it anyway and saw incredible results. Nevertheless, and despite improvement on all indicators in her blood test, her doctor advised her to return to a normal diet and control it with insulin and "complex" carbs. That was in 2019.

My mother’s doctors do similar things - partly because they have internalized the “cultural impossibility” of old Asians to cut carbs and if someone says they are cutting carbs, according to their experience it’s often a lie. It’s also possible that some of these doctors have indoctrinated themselves into believing this can never work.
