diabetes type 2 if you’re eating such that your blood glucose levels are maintained within acceptable levels
This is the definition of type 2 diabetes.
that doesn’t mean that the reverse is true: that carbs are the direct cause of type 2 diabetes.
Agreed, carbohydrates are a necessary component of type 2 diabetes but are not sufficient by themselves.
we can’t conclude from this information that carbs are the primary cause of diabetes type 2.
I can, in so far as they are a necessary part of developing type 2 diabetes, t2d can be avoided by not consuming them. Type 2 diabetes is a blood glucose condition, there are multiple layers in avoiding that state. Removing carbohydrates is a guaranteed way, but not the only way, to avoid type 2 diabetes.
As far as I'm aware the various factors impacting insulin sensitivity (and thus t2d):
- carbohydrate load
- industrial oil consumption
- fructose consumption
- inflammation
- exercise levels
- carbohydrate and fat consumption : randle cycle inhibition
Though only carbohydrates are necessary for t2d, the other factors may or may not be present
