The carnivore diet has been getting a lot of attention lately. There are Reddit forums with thousands of members, many Facebook groups, numerous articles in mainstream media, podcasts and hundreds of YouTube videos.
Also called a zero-carb diet or animal-sourced foods (ASF) diet, the carnivore diet consists of 100% animal foods — meat, fish, eggs, high-fat dairy products and animal fats. Some adherents eat only meat, salt and water.

An example of a typical carnivore day meals.
Breakfast: Three eggs cooked in butter, ham and cheese (optional)
Lunch: Rib eye steak
Dinner: Hamburger patties and bacon
There is no need for snacks. One of the benefits of a carnivore diet is the fullness factor of high protein consumption, so people are usually not hungry in between meals. Some people also opt to skip breakfast, though registered dietitians don’t recommend this for optimal health.

Since the Carnivore Diet excludes carbs, it eliminates cookies, cakes, candy, sodas, pastries and similar high-carb foods.
These foods are low in beneficial nutrients and often high in calories. Thus, they should be limited in a healthy, balanced diet.
High-sugar foods can also be problematic for people with diabetes, as they can spike blood sugar levels. In fact, limiting refined carbs and sugary foods is often recommended to control diabetes.
However, the complete elimination of carbs on the Carnivore Diet is not recommended or necessary for diabetes management. Instead, eating smaller amounts of wholesome, high-fiber carbs that don't cause spikes in blood sugar is recommended.

Yes, I hardly think that this diet is suitable for diabetics. At least not without consulting their doctor first.
