Diabetes Information

Proper and effective treatment of diabetes means carefully integrating a wide range of therapies and substantial alterations in diet and lifestyle. Type II diabetes is usually the end result of rnany years of chronic metabolic insult; although it is treatable with the natural metabolic approach presented here, its ultimate resolution will take persistence. Although this program is primarily designed for the type I individual, it is equally appropriate for the type II individual. The ultimate goal is to reestablish normal glycemia and prevent the development of (or ameliorate) the complications of diabetes.
The high-complex carbohydrate, high-fiber diet modified to incorporate more natural foods is clearly the diet of choice in the treatment of diabetes. All simple, processed, and concentrated carbohydrates and alcohol must be avoided; complex carbohydrate, high-fiber foods should be stressed; and saturated fats should be kept to a minimum. Legumes, onions, and garlic are particularly beneficial, and should be eaten regularly.
