I have a question about cutting carbs *completely* though. Is that really necessary? Maybe I should have been more clear but my stomach isn't exactly so fat that its folding over my pants or anything. It's just slightly "rounding" and I'm trying to cut it down.

You don't want to cut carbs completely. You never want to eliminate a food group entirely unless you don't have to. I still suggest ruling out medical conditions before altering your diet (unless it's cutting out junk you shouldn't be eatting/drinking in the first place).
Also Type II diabetes DOES have a genetic component. There are genotypes that are more prone towards a heavier body type/slow metabolism/weight issues and there are also non weight related factors.
Also it's not the eatting of carbs (often these come with fats an fiber which make them more diagestiable or trigger insuline production) but the DRINKING of sugar (which has none of the above) that creates the problem. There's a very good lecture online called "Sugar The Bitter Truth" as well as several very good books about the subject.
