The reason is that starchy foods like noodles, rice, bread, grains and potato for example are items that your body will turn into sugar for energy but more likely than not, the amount of sugar just from a starchy food eaten in moderation might not but really bad, just somewhat bad. What's worse is all the sauces that make the 'american style' Chinese food taste so good is because of their sauces which as far as I know, all have some sugar in them. Unfortunately sugar is hidden in many things, and condiments other than Chinese.

What makes food taste good to people is adding sugar, salt and fat to foods. What tastes good makes people buy it or go to that restaurant so no one who sells any kind of edible product is going to change anytime soon or ever. Its all about making money and not caring about the effects on people.
You really should be asking all these questions of a health professional. All I know about diabetes is from people who have it. I did know a shop owner I saw often who was sad one day and said it was because her Dr. told her she was pre-diabetic. This is the stage before going on insulin, meaning a drastic change in diet might still turn it around. A few months later, saw her and she'd not only lost a little weight but announced she wasn't anywhere near being pre diabetic or worse. So no matter where you are, in danger of becoming diabetic or already there, the tablets for type 2, or insulin alone can't miraculously make you able to eat anything with sugar in it. You have to change your diet. Its hard. My elderly neighbor across the street started crying one day I visited. She had never had diabetes in her life and now she was told she was diabetic. Type 2. Having that disease is nothing to mess with or ignore warnings. A person can end up dead if someone isn't around to help. A co worker was diabetic and giving herself insulin shots. One day she unfortunately got the shot into a vein and later in the day, she was already talking weird and feeling woozy and she called me, handed me some change and asked me to get her an orange juice from the lunchroom immediately. I was so worried I've never moved that fast before. If you don't have insurance and can't see a Dr. for ongoing care with this, try the internet. For a search, What foods should a diabetic avoid. Or a search what will spike blood sugar in a diabetic. I chose what can be deadly for a diabetic and here is one of the hits: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
