    @hales8208 For serious. I have Type 1, or Juvenile, Diabetes and I’m pretty sick of people confusing the two conditions.

    It’s also very dangerous for YouTube videos to play doctor, not to mention the extreme bias towards fat bodies.

    I really wish they would make? the deffinition between Juvenile Diabeties and this kind of diabeties (type 2) Everyone just says “diabeties” and thinks its the same thing, Its not and some kids with juvenile diabeties pay for that.

    Favorited and fearured.

    It is about time people open their eyes, and see that supporting the pharmaceutical industry with your life, is simply not worth it at all.

    We ALL did this to ourselves, and we can ALL undo it!

    a Diabetic is a person with Sugar that is too high (normal is 100-110) Now i am Obese (5’8″ 400 pounds) and my Sugar is 70 which is too LOW, i am Hypoglycemic–how would this diet affect me?

    Hi LadyWeasel, there are alot of books on raw foods. I would recommend you start with this book. Called “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw” by Mark Reinfeld. I bought mine from amazon, but most big book stores should have it.

    I agree, my dad is the healthiest man I know, he still plays football at 60, does the gardening, eats good, and he has high blood pressure, my brother has high blood pressure too, and so do I, so as far as I can tell it’s genetic.

    one of the problems with raw food diets, being pushed, they dont take into account natural sugars that occur in berries, pineapples etc.
    also neglecting 2 types of whitebread, there is bleached white bread the bad one, there is unbleached whitebread, which is usually off white.found normally purchased from continental bakeries. my biggest concern with the raw food diet, is the lack of complete whole protein, found only in meat.

    I agree with you totally, fletch, as you know I am an oversize lardarse myself, I am in a high risk group, for type2 diabetes due to my size and also type1 diabetes is running rampant on my father’s side of the family. to keep myself clear of any form of diabetes, I control the intake of natural sugars and processed sugars, its not a case of eating raw food and feeling better, you can eat any food but manage it correctly by ingredients.

    I’m skeptical of some generalised conclusions for everyone. Some people will get high cholesterol levels, not by diet but by their genes. There are vegetarian vegans with high cholesterol levels. Diet does not help without complementary medications. Some people are genetically more prone to diabetes and to change that is really hard work. There has to be balance, not radical dogmas forced onto people. We do have to balance the good in these programmes with prescription medication.
