Is there any role of calories in diet for control or cure of diabetes.Of different diets suggested in this forum,no mention of calorie made.

In the management of DM three things are taken into consideration.Drug, diet and life style which includes physical work.Let us leave drug portion to individual treating physician.There in no two opinion on stress free life style with some physical work including regular walking etc.That leaves us with DIET.Two school of thought have emerged in this forum.One is based on self experience of Mr.George who advocates Long Wheat M D and who claims that it ultimately cures Diabetes.The other is propagated by Mindfree who emphasises that it is LCHF diet which is best to control DM.Well and good.But none of the two above advocates mention about calorie requirements and how they are going to get those calories.So naturally question arise is the system of counting calories for each individual according to age and work is valid?
