High-starch diet linked with increased risk of diabetes

In a recent article by Dr John Briffa, he states "Last week, one of my posts focused on the spiraling costs of diabetes medication.

A lower-carb diet has been proven to be effective in the management of diabetes, but might it help prevent this condition too?
