I grant that I should have said eating a lot of carbs leads to diabetes in those genetically predisposed. Agree about total calories but limiting carbs is partly about limiting total calories because small amounts of protein and fat as long as you don’t sweeten them kill the appetite.
Probably best to stick to the peer-reviewed literature on this sort of question. Lots of junk information out there on diets.
I don’t know exactly what you mean by “virtual no carb eating”. Is the mono-unsaturated diet in the following an example?

I don’t think you eat your way into DM type 2. I think you eat your way into being obese, which predisposes to DM type 2 and that there is a genetic component. Most biological phenomena are a mixture of nature and nurture.
It is a good point that the success of most diets depends on how well they control people’s appetites so they can control total calories. My sense is that this is highly idiosyncratic.
