No. Though low-carb diets are generally a good idea for those suffering from diabetes, it doesn't eliminate it, and in fact one of the most life-threatening situations a T1 diabetic can be in (hypoglycemia) needs to be addressed by giving them as close to pure sugar as you can manage (and the person themselves might be too out of it to manage on their own - advanced hypoglycemia impairs brain function).
