you have to exercise too to keep your blood Sugar down
Diet is quite important in general not just for diabetes but for cardiovascular disease, obesity, and many other conditions. I would be hesitant however to say that diet is effective in preventing or curing diabetes. A person may develop diabetes even if they eat the most ‘perfect’ diet. A person with diabetes may bring their glucose down to ‘normal’ by diet, weight loss, and exercise but they are still a diabetic. Diabetes is a progressive disorder so whether the glucose is normalized by the above measures or by medications damage continues to accrue most especially damage to the cardiovascular system. Not even the most imaginative and creative of researchers believes that diabetes can be prevented or cured. That having been said the treatment options for diabetics has never been better than it is today. It is now possible – for the first time – to give diabetics the same glucose values as a non-diabetic but as noted above the disease progression may be slowed but will still occur. The major source of morbidity and mortality from diabetes is cardiovascular disease. Thus besides controlling the blood glucose it may be important to address other cardiovascular risk factors such as the lipid profile.
Diet does not cause (or prevent) diabetes:
“Myth #3 Eating too much sugar causes diabetes.
No. Diabetes is caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. However, being overweight does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, eating a healthy meal plan and regular exercise are recommended to manage your weight.”
There is no known cure for diabetes, dietary or otherwise.
Diet and exercise are equally important in reversing type two diabetes. (note that I did not say “cure”). It is vitally important that the type two diabetic adjust their lifestyle to include lots of healthy raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and to exclude any and all refined, processed, enriched, packaged, preserved, man made carbohydrates (especially high fructose corn syrup) from their diet. It is equally important for the type two diabetic to get daily moderate exercise. I emphatically disagree with the good doctor. I am living proof that the disease is reversible. It is only progressive if the patient persists in living the lifestyle that brought us here in the first place. Very few doctors seem to realize this. Bear in mind that type two diabetes is a modern disease and it’s existence was practically unheard of 200 years ago, when factory processed foods were rarely found in people’s diets. Look up the Pima Indian’s plight for more on this. There are a few doctors that have done their homework and have found as I have that with healthy diet and regular exercise, a type two diabetic can live a long, healthy, and medication free life. All it requires is a lot of research and some practical application of that knowledge. I was getting worse and worse until I became desperate enough to learn for myself how to deal with the disease. The chances of gleaning this knowledge from a conventionally trained M.D. are slim. But there are a few out there that have learned. Search Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
