Diabetes Basics
In the past few years, much of what we thought we knew about
diabetes has been turned on its head. New understanding of the
nutritional causes of diabetes gives us the power to keep it from
occurring or to turn it around.
Here is what is supposed to happen: Our bodies turn starchy and
sweet foods into glucose for our muscle cells to use for fuel. Insulin,
a hormone made in the pancreas, ushers glucose into the cells. People
with type 2 diabetes, the most common type, generally have enough
insulin. However, their cells become resistant to it, leaving too much
glucose in the bloodstream, where it can cause problems.
Over the short run, people with uncontrolled diabetes may feel tired,
thirsty, urinate frequently, and notice blurred vision. In the long run,
they are at risk for heart disease, kidney problems, vision loss, nerve
damage, and other difficulties.
Dietary Approaches to Diabetes
Diabetes diets typically call for portion
control, carbohydrate limits and, for those who
are overweight, calorie restrictions. Fortunately,
there is another way. Low-fat, plant-based
diets are ideal for diabetes and the conditions
associated with it, such as heart disease,
weight gain, high cholesterol, and high blood
pressure. And they offer the nice advantage of
not requiring any weighing or measuring of
portions. Going hungry is not necessary!

carbohydrates. It’s true that overly processed
carbohydrates—those made with sugar or white
flour, for example—are poor choices. However,
delicious unprocessed or minimally processed
foods, such as potatoes, rice, oats, beans
