Diabetes affects the body's ability to convert blood sugar into energy.
The reason behind this is either scarcity of insulin or the body's not accepting of insulin or both.
Diabetes has two variations, Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed in children and young adults.
Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease where the body produces no insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common today.
In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin
or the cells ignore the insulin.

Reversing Diabetes in 30 Day
Simply Raw:
Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, uncooked food in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication.
The six are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food for 30 days.
The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this radical diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse disease and change lives.
The film highlights each of the six before they begin the program and we first meet them in their home environment with their families. Each participant speaks candidly about their struggle to manage their diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life, from work to home to their relationships.

How our Body Process Sugar
From Dr. D. Graham / www.foodnsport.com
The sugars we eat travel a three-stage journey through our bodies:
Stage1: Sugars start out in the digestive tract when we eat them.
Stage2: They pass through the intestinal wall, into the bloodstream.
Stage3: They then move smoothly and easily out of the bloodstream into our cells.
This occurs rapidly, often in minutes.
When we eat a high-fat diet, the sugar gets trapped in stage 2, and the body works overtime, sometimes to the point of exhaustion and disease, in an effort to move the sugar out of the bloodstream. Meanwhile, the sugar backs up in the blood, creating sustained, elevated blood sugar that wreaks havoc on the body in the form of Candida, fatigue, diabetes, etc.
The Role of Insulin
What happens in the presence of fat that causes sugar to pile up in our bloodstream? It has to do with the pancreas. Under the direction of the brain, the pancreas is responsible for producing a hormone known as insulin. One of insulin’s roles is to attach it self to sugar molecules in the blood and then find an insulin receptor in the blood-vessel wall. The insulin can then transport the sugar molecule through the blood-vessel membrane to the interstitial fluid (the fluid between the cells) and continue to escort sugar across another barrier – the cell membrane – and into the cell itself.
Excess dietary fat in the bloodstream creates some negative insulating effects. When we eat too much fatty food, a thin coating of fat lines the blood-vessel walls, the cells’ insulin-receptor sites, the sugar molecules, as well as the insulin itself. These fats can take a full day or more to “clear” from the blood, all the while inhibiting normal metabolic activity, and preventing these various structures from communicating with each other.
Too much fat in the blood impedes the movement of sugar out of the bloodstream. This results in an overall rise in blood sugar, as sugars continue to travel from the digestive tract:
(Stage 1) into the blood (Stage 2) but cannot escape from the blood so they can be delivered to the cells (Stage 3) which await their fuel.
Sugar and Fat at the Same Meal
Raw-food experts give lectures, write books, videos that support their stance against fruit. Their “scientific” information seems conclusive: Fruit is clearly the culprit in blood-sugar problems for raw fooders. But let’s step back for a minute: Take a look at the high-fat recipes in the books, newsletters, and websites of those so quick to tell you to avoid fruit.
Note the fat-laden foods they serve guests at their institutes, retreats, and rejuvenation centers. Pay attention to the rich tasty morsels they serve up at food demos and festival booths. Nuts, seeds, and avocados all run 75% fat or more, as a percentage of their calories. Oils are 100% fat. It takes very little of these foods to push us way over the edge in terms of blood fat, and raw fooders do not eat “very little” of these foods.
Unfortunately, taking care to avoid sugar/fat combinations at the same meal is not sufficient to alleviate blood-sugar problems. Eating a high-fat diet creates elevated blood sugar whenever fruit and other sweets are eaten, regardless of timing.
Here’s why: Sugars require little time in the stomach. Immediately upon putting a simple sweet fruit into your mouth, some of the sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream from under the tongue.
Fruit eaten alone or in simple, well-chosen combination on an empty stomach requires only a few minutes in the stomach before passing to the small intestines, where the sugars can be quickly absorbed. Most of the sugar from fruit travels from the intestines, to the bloodstream, and then to the cells where they are needed within minutes of its consumption.
Fats, however, require a much longer period of time, often twelve to twenty-four hours or more, before they reach their destination, the cells. In the stomach, fats are subjected to a digestive process that usually takes several hours. When they finally do proceed to the small intestine, they are absorbed into the lymphatic system, where they often spend twelve hours or more before passing to the bloodstream. Most important, fats linger in the bloodstream for many hours longer than do sugars.
On a high-fat diet, therefore, the bloodstream always contains an excessive quantity of fat, and more is coming in at almost every meal. Essentially, even when you eat a fruit meal alone and wait hours before eating fat, those sugars are likely to mix in your bloodstream with the fats you ate the day before.
Whether or not we eat fruit in the presence of such tremendously high levels of fat, we set ourselves up for health problems and inability to remain raw.
