Yes they are low in Carbs and that is what matters. The free food is an old but still used category of low carbs/sugar. A few have given erroneous examples. Popcorn and most vegetables (obviously not all) are not free choices. They have measurable amounts of carbohydrates and will raise blood sugar significantly.
A diabetic can eat anything as long as it is kept balanced with, medication, exercise etc.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/axLWC
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Celery, CUCUMBERS, string beans, onion and garlic are especially beneficial. String bean pod tea is an excellent natural substitute for insulin and highly beneficial in diabetes. The skin of the pods of green beans are extremely rich in silica and certain hormone substances which are closely related to insulin. One cup of string bean tea is equal to one unit of insulin. CUCUMBERS contain a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin. Onion and garlic have proved beneficial in reducing blood sugar in diabetes.
Hope this helps.
