True, but in general., avoiding "sugar" (simple carbs) is a great start.
You're absolutely correct - 800 cals of pasta is not the same as 800 cals of protein and fat. Calories are not the cause of diabetes. Prolonged over consumption of insulin raising food is, because diabetes is caused by insulin resistance.

As you probably know, certain foods are highly insulin stimulating, e.g. sugar, fructose, certain starchy carbs.
The medical establishment starts from an incorrect assumption, in that high blood glucose (sugar) is due to insufficient insulin production. So they prescribe more insulin.
But treating insulin resistance by adding more insulin assures that the patient will get even more insulin resistant.
What most lay persons don't know is that everytime you eat, your body immediately stops burning calories, and starts storing fat due to the body's production of insulin hormone.
Some foods are worse (more stimulating than others.)
I eat a very low carbohydrate diet, with meals well-spaced out in order to let my insulin levels fall between meals.
Exercise is great because it can burn the glucose in your blood, which eventually decreased your insulin resistance.
