| The logic is pretty straight forward. You don't need to delve too deeply into the science. As a diabetic, you want to achieve good blood sugar control, so that you can lead a long and happy life. To achieve good control, you need to avoid foods that increase blood sugar. Carbohydrates increase blood sugar. So it is in your interests to avoid them.
It is ironic that about 70% of carbohydrate eaten is stored as fat anyway. The problem is that it pushes blood sugar right up before this happens, and this is what causes all the problems with diabetic complications. If, on the other hand, you eat fat instead, it gets stored as fat without affecting blood sugar at all.
So the question is, why eat carbohydrate in the first place? The body produces as much glucose as it needs without relying on the consumption of carbohydrate.
