This is very wrong, but the stuff in the parenthesis is even more so.
Please do not mix type 1 and type 2 diabetes. While it could be argued that type 2 is improved by diet, the amount of carbs eaten by type 1 diabetics is completely and utterly irrelevant, there's no correlation between that and them developing the disease.

Unlikely. I have not seen any indications that dopamine is involved in any Parkinson mechanism at all.
