Dr. Berg talks about if it's okay to eat potatoes if you are a diabetic. A baked potato has a glycemic index of 84-111 (too high).

Boiled potato has a glycemic index of 82 (still too high)

Instant potato has a glycemic index of 97 (way too high).

If I were a diabetic, I would get my carbs below 20 grams per day.
