Who are these people at risk exactly? I think there isn't enough talk about it. There are studies now that show that zero carb and intermittent fasting can reverse type 2 diabetes. But nobody seams to suggest to people at risk to try to eat less sugar.

I'm pretty sure the first thing people are told after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is to control their carb intake.
I actually don't think that's true. But that might depend on the country, doctors etc. Many still give the exact wrong advice of limiting fat intake, focusing on "slow burning carbs" and all that.
I tell my I’ll and overweight friends this whenever they complain of their illness. It makes me unpopular but I feel like I am not a true friend unless I speak up.
