Diabetes affects many parts of the body and is associated with many serious complications, such as heart disease and stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-limb amputation. Some complications, especially microvascular (e.g., eye, kidney, and nerve) disease, can be reduced with good glucose control, but these diseases are still serious risks for diabetics.

What Is Diabetes?Type I Diabetes5% of the diagnosed diabetics are designated Type I, (formerly juvenile) diabetics. From birth, the pancreas of these individuals is unable to produce adequate amounts of insulin for the metabolism of glucose. Although glucose is present, it remains trapped in the bloodstream. The cells receive no fuel from carbohydrates to perform their necessary functions, because glucose requires insulin for entry. Thus, first among the symptoms of diabetes is malaise. Type II DiabetesThe remaining 95% of diabetics are classified as Type 2 (formerly adult onset) diabetics. In the vast majority of these cases, the pancreas produces adequate to excessive levels of insulin, but glucose is nonetheless unable to enter the cells. This is in large part a result of the high-fat American diet,which hinders the functioning of both natural and injected insulin.

All cellular function requires action to be followed by recovery, or inaction. Over train, or under recover, a muscle group and it will degenerate rather than grow. The same is true for any organ. The pancreas cannot continue to overwork without showing signs of partial, and eventually total failure.

How Can The 80/10/10 Diet Help Reverse Diabetes?

The 80/10/10 Diet allows the body to heal and for the pancreas to regain health. As the pancreas functions healthfully, insulin too is efficiently used. The main way in which the diet enables the body to recover is through the lowering of the dietary fat intake to healthy levels.

Most Type 2 diabetics produce plenty of

insulin. Dietary fat hinders its function.

The Fat/Diabetes ConnectionGiven the horrors of this road to ruin, one would expect the masses to cry out for a solution to the growing epidemic of diabetes. Instead, we seem determined to seal the fate that the centers for disease control has so ominously predicted.

This understanding of the connection between dietary fat and diabetes is shared by a Nobel Prize Winner, the AMA and many other prominent medical researchers. But its simple truth points to a condition far too easily and naturally remedied for the medicopharmaceutical cartel to want any part of it.The correlation was documented as early as the 1920s:In 1927, Dr. EP Joslin of the famous Joslin diabetic center in Boston suspected a high-fat, high cholesterol diet might contribute to the development of diabetes.In 1936, Dr. IM Rabinowitch of Canada presented 1000 case studies demonstrating it to the diabetic Association in Boston. In his presentation, he proved that the main factor inhibiting the metabolism of blood sugar in the presence of normal insulin was too much fat in the blood.In 1959, the Journal of the American Medical Association also documented this causal relationship between fat consumption and diabetes.In 1979, article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states, Medical research confirms that up to 50% of people with type II diabetes can eliminate diabetes risks and discontinue medication within three weeks adopting a low-fat, plant food diet and regular daily exercise.In 1998, Duke University medical Center researchers reported the findings of a study demonstrating that type II diabetes can be completely reversed in mice by lowering dietary fat.

How do we ensure the outcome they foretell? We simply need to continue doing what we have done for

over 60 years: eating a diet that is predominated by fat.

Fruit Is InnocentConsuming fruit does not cause blood sugar problems, but over eating fat does. If you remove the fat from the diet, in most cases blood sugar levels return to normal, as does pancreatic functioning. Restricting fruits in the diet is not the cure. In fact, the opposite is true. Doctors tell us, you have diabetes. You will have it for the rest of your life. And oh, by the way you can no longer eat fruit. This certainly does not sound like a healing profession to me.I have worked with many diabetics over the past 25 years. Of course, I guided each person individually, according to his or her unique history. Though I use no generic treatment plans, I do follow some general guidelines as I design each individual's program. In every instance, however, without exception, the use of a low-fat raw vegan diet predominated by sweet fruit has resulted in stabilization of blood sugar metabolism. Most of my clients were able to completely eliminate the need for insulin and other related drugs within a few weeks or less. No one was ever harmed, and I have never seen any negative consequences resulting from these dietary changes.You Mean I Really Can Eat Fruit?YES. Sure, eating fruit raises our blood sugar, but so does eating other foods. Complex carbohydrates, cooked or raw, topped the list of foods with the highest glycemic loads, meaning that they caused the largest and most rapid spiking of blood sugar levels.A healthy person who eats whole fruits, as a single ingredient mono-meal or in a simple combination, as is recommended for all meals, will find that the sugar in fruits passes easily into, and out of the bloodstream in minutes and causes no abnormalities in blood sugar levels.It is odd that we expect that fruit will give us problems but that complex carbohydrates and sugar desserts will not. It is reminiscent of the person ordering a hot fudge sundae with nuts, new gets, and whipped cream, who then says, "but hold the cherry, I am on a diet.

The concept behind the 80/10/10 diabetes-specific menu is nine-fold:

1. Keep total dietary fat down to single digits at all meals.2. To utilize fruits to which most diabetics do not tend to have

spike responses, (individual reactions may vary, and must be monitored accordingly).

3. To supply sufficient sweetness at each meal so that cravings for sweets do not arise.

4. To incorporate sufficient water within the meals to discourage overconsumption of water throughout the day.

5. To supply sufficient volume in each meal so as to discourage snacking while supporting satiation.

6. To supply sufficient calories so as to keep weight stable, without providing excess.

7. Breakfast tends to be the most water rich meal, as hydration concerns are highest at this time of day.

8. Lunch tends to be the most calorie rich meal, to provide sustenance that will last throughout the day and support recovery from prior physical activities.

9. Dinner tends to be the most complex and highest volume meal, providing sufficient interest and social normalcy in eating patterns, and enough volume for satiation.

Try it for yourself! We have provided a menu for a weekend trial. We are certain you will see an improvement in your numbers. When you do, please consider joining us at Conquering Diabetes. This 7 day full immersion retreat will give you the knowledge to be confident in kicking Type 2 Diabetes to the curb and Type 1 can reduce their insulin intake by 50%.

Robby Barbaro, a Type 1 Diabetic, chronicles his life on a fruit based diet. Since discovering The 80/10/10 Diet & attending several retreats with Dr. Graham eight years ago he actively advocates this lifestyle for all Diabetics. His current A1C is 5.9 on a diet of fruit and other plants.

Menu Plan - Food Tips1. No need to feel rushed eating lunch. Consuming a 6-8 banana smoothie for lunch

may take some time but it is important to consume your main calories at lunch. Over time this becomes easier and automatic.

2. In the beginning using the items you have on hand will be okay. Be sure to avoid roasted and salted items, as they will not bring the desired flavor to a dish. Moving forward, the freshest, ripest, and in a raw state food items are best for you.

3. Buy your bananas early to allow time for them to sufficiently ripen. If green, they will be starchy and may cause stomach cramps as well as not digest as intended.

Dr. Graham studied nutrition, primarily to enhance his own sports performance, from an early age. In college, where he majored in Health and Physical Education, he took every nutrition course offered. Going through his chiropractic training, he again took every nutrition course offered, studying nutrition every year while going through school.

When his interest in natural hygiene took hold in 1981, he started studying nutrition from a new slant, and with profoundly greater understanding.

During the past thirty years, Dr. Graham's interest and enthusiasm for nutrition has never waned. He has authored several books on nutrition, including Nutrition and Athletic Performance, and the best selling The 80/10/10 Diet.

Always one to see the big picture, Dr. Graham has become a leader in all areas related to food, farming, diet, nutrition, culinary skills, and even the related environmental sciences. There truly are few people in the world who have been so focused on helping people overcome health problems through proper nutrition, nor any who have followed their own advice so successfully.
