I can't understand what's so confusing regarding the myth that carbs are bad. I am retired also martial arts instructor so discipline and understanding my body is a must. We as humans need carbs to fuel our muscles it's fuel like a car need petrol. As a recently new diagnosed diabetic I have to be extra careful. be sure that obvious sugars like deserts, drinks, sweets/chocolate biscuits sweet alchopops type drinks stick to the recommended alcohol consumption, they quickly absorb into the blood stream far quicker than carbs.
Whole meal carbs such as bread and pasta are digested even slower. Eat with plenty veg and lean meat, eat fresh fish for omega3 use olive oil based spreads. Dont eat processed food without checking the sugar content.
If you do moderate exercise minimum 30mins 5 times a week and watch what you eat there shouldn't be a problem. I am not on medication my hba1c readings are normal. I don't need to test my BG. Think of testing as as one football result it's the position at the end of the league that's important.
