I've heard from several americans that this was the recommended ADA advice (luckily changed at some point in the last 5 years or so).
However, outside the US it seems that the recommendation has always beem to minimize carbs.

While I’m sure there are plenty of nurses and doctors out there giving rushed and questionable advice, I’d be surprised to find that this advice is “common” (though many patients may “hear what they want” so to speak).
