In my particular case, eating like an adult isn't enough, I actually do have to keep my carbs crazy low to keep my blood sugar under control


That means you either have insulin resistance (likely) or destroyed beta cells (not so likely). By far the #1 cause of insulin resistance is visceral fat, esp in pancreas (around beta cells) and liver (which effects sugar processing too). I had same problem at first when diagnosed prediabetic and I was fairly lean looking at the time. Some version of skinny-fat. Added considerably more resistance training (was already walking quite a bit) and things sorted after a few months. I was already on a complex carbs only, moderate fat/moderate protein diet. Actually did add some fat but kept the complex carbs
