First, he rolled his eyes when I asked about carb content, then it just got worse from there.

Certainly, at that time it's appropriate to talk to a manager.
I've had times where they'll bring me a regular drink, or sweet tea instead of unsweet, and then I get a look when I ask for the other way. If I get a look or even get the slightest feeling that they're being indignant about it, I'll just politely inform them that I'm a diabetic and that the regular drink could kill me (I use a varying level of rhetoric depending on the person's attitude when this pops up, as I see it fit to set this person straight for future people they might be serving who are diabetics). I'm not being snobby or taking an attitude with them about it, I just don't want to get sick and dehydrated when eating dinner!
Don't be afraid to put somebody who's being a smart-alec in their place when your health is on the line. You're paying them for the service and it's entirely reasonable to ask for some basic special preparation in light of the 'beetus. As for them not knowing the nutritional info, you'll have a hard time finding this (I've found that almost nowhere has this info readily available so I just count it myself), but if they continue to give you a hard time after that they are clearly in the wrong.
